My sixline is one mean mother

[vietcu]

I just recently got a orange spot goby and a tiger shrimp for my tank. The LFS said that the sixline would be ok with the goby in there, well guess what. I don't think the goby has been able to sit in one place in my tank for more than a few seconds. I saw the sixline had the goby in his mouth at one time trying to bite it off . Goby is still alive but hiding somewhere in the tank. Its funny seeing the sixline going in and out of every nook looking for it. Wonder if I should try to trap him and put him in my fuge for a while? At this rate, I don't think that goby is going to last much longer. He won't be able to get any food.

mine beat the snot out of my manderin when i first put it in there. I fed a lil extra for a few days and in the end the six line got tired of chasing him.

i got rid of my six line because he was killing my fairy wrasse.

I got rid of one too. It killed a mandarin and two black clowns in one night.

how did you guys catch yours? Mine leaves all the other fish alone. When I added the mandarin to the tank, it was larger than the sixline. So there was no attack there, but I do see it getting close to the mandarin trying to intimidate it a couple of times.

2 liter bottle trap worked perfectly. I went to work and when I came home the kids said, "Dad you got your fish!"
I couldn't believe it was the first fish to venture in after the food and was still in there when I got home.

I kept the neck much smaller that the one in that picture so one of the only fish that could fit through was the wrasse. He was so bossy that he pushed everyone away from the trap claiming the food but didn't go in until 6-8 hrs later.
