Six Line Wrasse?

[ReeferBill]

I added a nice size cleaner wrasse last thursday and a yellow clown goby. The Clown Goby is fine but I have not scene the cleaner Wrasse for 2-3 days since the six line has been chasing the cleaner relentlessly. Do you think the cleaner is hiding or do you think it has been devoured by my clean-up crew? He was eating and staying in the bottom corners to stay out of the way of my mean 6-line,,,,,.Thank You for your input....:uhoh2:

The six line prolly took him out. This isn't the right forum though. I'll see if I can get it moved.

Yup, the six line got him/her. Predictable, unfortunately.

I hate six lines, satan's little helper. They will turn killer sooner or later IMO.

I don't like six lines either. I'd get him out if you can.

Many don't realize how much damage that small fish can do.

yea I know of a small 6line that gutted a 4" Melanurus wrasse. Literally gutted it! Six lines are pretty but I only know of a couple people that haven't regretted getting one.

I was somewhat releaved when I found mine on the floor, would have rather taken him back to the store, though.

should hv done more research. u cant put any wrasse in a tank once a 6-line is in it already.

Who cares about other wrasses..the six line rules! Plus I have a cleaner that has got along with him for 4+years. They have kept my tank perfecto and don't harass anyone.

Mean little suckers. I have one in my 600g and he does his thing from one end of the tank to the other. I also have a canary wrasse that he doesnt bother but Im afraid to add any other wrasses.

how long have you had him?

lil cleaner probably jumped from the harrassment.. or hid and died due to starvation..stress..

6-lines are a beast.. I had one in my 240 gallon and it harrassed my mandarin through every nook and cranny.. I eventually trapped it and sold it.. Evil lil monster they are.. even in large tanks they will harrass something and chase them to the end.

how long have you had him?

Must be for around 8 months+
Never shown any interest in new additions.

It almost got eaten by the Floral wrasse when first introduced, the latter hunted him like a pod!:fish1:
Must have put him in his place:hmm5:
