Thanking about adding a 6 Line wrasse

bigkai · Mar 16, 2014

Will it pick at anything in the tank coral or shrimps?

I wouldn't. They are aggressive towards other fish. A yellow coris wrasse is a better option in that price range.

Devil Fish. You will regret it

bigkai · Mar 16, 2014

Are they that bad lol

Marshall O · Mar 16, 2014

They have a reputation for a reason....

LOL i agree with the others here, they are certainly a beautiful fish and have tons of personality but they also will kill other fish like ninjas in the night

i have had one for two years now, no problems at all. it doesnt bother anyone, clowns, tangs, mandarin or shrimp.

You can drop a six line into any system and it will usually get a long with nearly every fish. It's when you try to add anything is when they are a problem.

That is the best use for them honestly, alone in a frag tank.

There are so many more interesting, beautiful and peaceful wrasse. I wouldn't put one in my tank.

bigkai · Mar 16, 2014

I want a hunter, that will destroy any possible pests I might have, so the 6-Line is purposely chosen for this task. The 6-Lines are beautiful fish too imo and don't need a sandbed either.

I have one and it's by far my favorite fish to watch weaves in and out of the coral all day doesn't bother anyone but if my clown gets to close he will open his mouth and flip his fin up other then that nothing he is scared of the tiny shrimp goby I got him because I have a massive bristle worm and I've tried everything to rev move it now everytime it shows it's self he darts over and takes a chunk out of it
