Six line and goby issues

[tex77083]

I just added some fish to my tank they are all doing well together but my six line wrasse is beating up on my diamond back goby. Is this something that i should worry about?

6 lines are just mean. Never heard of them picking on a goby though

 

[tex77083]

Well there is also; clown fish,croams,tang, small damsel and a coral beauty. He is not touching any of them but seams to have a vendiata agenst the goby, it can hardly get out of its den. If this keeps up do ya think that he will kill the goby?

No he won't kill the goby the goby will jump out of the tank and you will find it as a crispy chip......I have had 3 of them jump from my tank, the last 2 went through the egg crate, they can get through the smallest space. I also have a 6 line who is the meanest little beggar in my tank.....

So if I wan't to keep my goby I need to get rid of my six line?

Might not hurt. THe six lines are cool, but they are real mean. If you like that type of fish, try some of the fairy wrasses or the flashers. The yellow coris in a nice one that will help keep pests under control with out being a big pest itself

 

[LornaS]

wrasses tend to be jumpers too......too bad that 6 line of mine won't jump.....Maybe he will be a fish to put into the aggressive/predator tank.....

Put him in with a big lion and see how he does

I have a six line you can have for some added competition. LOL
I just fish him out last weekend as he was harrasing my yellow coris. My yellow coris is now living in my overflow from jumping in it to get away.
