Thinking about a six line

thegrilledcheesus · Feb 9, 2013

Would anyone speak for if these guys are generally out and about, or are they reclusive?

They're the devil.

Lol!

I've had a couple and I didnt think they were that bad... but I have heard horror stories.

cbb_70 · Feb 9, 2013

Mine were very active... out and about causing mischief...

I like them. They can be a little territorial, but not too bad.

Well, my one experience with them is that they're in and out of the rockwork, but very active and not too hard to find until they disappear forever.

Otter_rs · Feb 9, 2013

They often try to jump out. That is their most common cause of death.

Mine did attack the glass hardcore trying to fight itself! Lol

Yeah I wouldn't recommend putting two together, although I did see that work once.

So one in a ten G with tank mates is a definite no-no?

Otter_rs · Feb 10, 2013

Depends on the tank mates. Add him last and make sure it's tightly covered.

I love my 6 line. I'm on my 2nd one. The first was in my 34G Red Sea tank, he was fine with 2 clowns and a Blue Tang. Very active. I moved to a 100 G rimless and found him on the floor after a couple months, very sad.

Was in a new LFS and saw a little one so decided to take him home. He's also very active, picking stuff off the rocks, in and out of the holes in the rocks. He gets along itch everyone, even the Gobys that are smaller. One of my favorite fish.

I had one in my first tank. Love that lil fish. Very active and friendly. They're good for killing certain pests. Plan on getting one soon for my nano. Found one the other day and went back and someone already scooped him up.

They are okay if you add them last and don't plan to ever add anything new. They will attack anything added after them that is up to about 2x their size.

Zack · Feb 10, 2013

I think they are underrated, quite a beautiful fish, their eyes look really cool.
Mine also jumped to his death....

fireman23 · Feb 10, 2013

Hey are the devil. As palvyre said make sure its your last fish because they will attack anything. Mine even started attacking a fish that had been in there before him. Needless to say he's now at the LFS.

So a yellow watchman goby in there would probably get bullied even if I added him last?
