6-line butmunch

I let my daughter pick out a 6 line against my best judgement with their reputation of becoming big meanies. Well, he chased my leopard wrasse out of the tank! Cruella, did you ever figure out how to sucessfully fish in a tank? Just kidding really, I like the fish, but won't try another wrasse in that tank.

Michael, if you're looking to get the sixline out, I have an acrylic fish trap that I purchased when trying to remove my zoanthid eating hippo tang. It's a little large, but works well.

Well- my little one is rather attached to it, so it will be staying there at least until I set up another tank for her

To catch a wrasse...

To catch a wrasse...

I've had good luck catching wrasse (three so far) with a hinged plastic holding tank (via the link), a few rubberbands, a pen cap, and some dental floss. Oh, and mysis tied to a small rock.

your leapon jumped! that sucks. i am werry adding any wrasse with a leopard wrasse. ussually they dont cohabitat well at alll. but again there are exceptions especially in large tanks. leopard r=wrasse have always struck me as timid fish as they run for cover all the time when stressed...ussually under the sand/substrate. still sucks as i try to keep stuff that sometimes fight as its worth a try if it can occur or has been documented to work sometimes.
