Shrimp Vs Sixline

[TomNeely]

Hello all, I wanted to get a three peppermint or two cleaner shrimp for my 75. Will the sixline wrasse attack these?

Have these in your tank together?

I have a 6- line in with two fire shrimp in my 180 and the are fine. I think the shrimp either have to be large, or in there before the 6-line. Any shrimp added after the 6-line may be looked at as food.

i dont think so ....... i have a cleaner shrimp and a sixline in my tank...... they have been together for over a year now without a problem

Same for me. Sixline and cleaner shrimp. No problems at all.

 

[acer]

me too - no trouble with this combo

Same here..... Sixline and a cleaner with 4 peppermints.
Over a year, no troubles.

How big is the sixline?

 

[DEERE G]

My 6-line's are over 2" long and are housed with skunk cleaner and blood red shrimps. The shrimp were added after the wrasse's in both tanks. No issues so far.

 

[hybridazn]

sixline with coral banded shrimp. no problems whatsoever. the shrimp is rather large now but the sixline is probably around 3"

Thank you all!

Well I just got my order in from Live Aquaria because AquaWorld does not give PMASI a discount anymore. I did the "build your own clean up crew". I got 4 peppermints and my Sixlibe Wrasse and Clowns are going after them. I do not see them now they are hiding. I hope they survive because I did not want to spend $20 on fish food...

Should I wait it out?

Shrimp are med size and sixline is around 2 1/2".

Did you throw any food at them to give them something else to deal with????

 

[TomNeely]

Yes pellets and cyclopeeze.

I just think the clowns did not want them in their area and the wrasse is always eating and searching for food, even after his belly is full....

i saw 2 of them just now....see how they hold in the next 24 hours.

(I did not turn the light on when they were put into the tank.)

I had a couple in the tank before this one, and they didn't come out much when the lights were on. Alot of times changes in conditions will cause a shrimp to moult. It can be a pain when introducing them to a new tank because they're very vunerable at this time. Try to give them time to find a nook to hide in before you turn the lights on today.

 

[Misled]

Tom, how goes it????

 

[TomNeely]

I can see 2 peppermints. 2 are MIA...

Thanks for asking.

I will def order from them again great shipping!

 

[MAMGM]

I put 3 skunk cleaner shrimp 1n after the 6 line have had no problems

 

[AHDOnline]

Mine were MIA for over a week after i put them in the tank. I saw them after about 3 hours with no lights last night. But then again i have nothing that will eat them.

I give liveaquaria build your own a big thumbs up also..

 

[TomNeely]

...well I like inverts and got 6 peppermints tonight after the meeting and the sixline is chasing them and trying to eat them....I fed my fish when I got home and the shrimp were put in 30 minutes later.

I must have a mean sixline. I will have to catch him using "pop bottle method" and sell him.

The other fish could care less that they were put into the tank.

 

[SirusX1721]

this fish sounds like a total jerk.

Hybrid, ya looking for a mean 6-line for your mini pred. tank? lol
