Can you keep a 6 line in a nano

[poke75]

Has anyone ever tried a 6 line wrasse in a 6 gallon nano?

I just found some flat worms in my nano.

This sucks!!

People add six lines in tiny tanks like that often. It's not my preference, but people do it.

Don't see why it would be a problem to keep him in there. He doesn't get that big and there is plenty of places for him to swim around to hunt for those worms.

They can be jumpers [pretty sure you remember first hand in our shop!!!]. Make sure you have something on top of the tank.

You gotta decide how much you care.... But wrasse are active swimmers and really need some decent water space to swim in (not as much as tang, but still a good pile of water). I'd vote that putting a 6 line wrasse in such a tank for the long term would be relatively inhumane.

Sorry if that isn't the sort of opinion you'd want, but I gotta be honest about it....

Now, if you put it in with the intention of moving it to another tank after 2-3-4 weeks or so, then I'd say that's less of a big deal.
