Six line wrasse

[Aussieiniowa]

What are the best stocking list for a six line wrasse?
What should I not stock with it?

I have two juv clowns true.p and a coral beauty


I also ready that six lines are great Bristol worm hunters is this correct?

A sixline wrasse will severely limit your ability to put anything else in the tank. They are aggressive. They will eat your bristleworms. Bristleworms are a great part of your cuc.

My sixline was banished to my mantis shrimp tank after picking on other fish in my 75 gal. There is a domino damsel in there that he gets along with. But mine seems to be pretty aggressive for fish listed as "semi-aggressive".

My sixline pair killed my mandarin female by pecking her eyes out. They completly ignored her after thye pecked her eyes out. I was luckly ang got them out before they start on my male mandain. This is is a 450 ga tank. Plenty of food for all and my Mandarin spawned regularly.
You will never see me having any sixline in my tank again.

Mean wrasse. Dottybacks can stand their ground though.

Mine is a model citizen but then again everyone is about 3 inches bigger than him. I had a dotty back killed my firefish and tried to kill my cleaner shrimp and was being a huge bully so he had to go.

So what would be a better fish to have .... To eat Bristol worms?

Why do you want to get rid of the bristleworms?

 

[Marshall O]

Why don't you want bristleworms, they are excellent members of your CUC? If you have an excessive amount, it is because they have the food available to them.

Otherwise, what size tank? I would go with a Halichoeres (assuming you have a sandbed) well before considering a Sixline or other Pseudocheilinus.

Sixline Wrasse....NEVER again.

My first tank was a 29G biocube with one in there. The sixline was an a$$ in that cube.

I took down the 29G biocube and put up a 280G RR tank and moved the sixline into that tank. The a$$ is now a bigger a$$ and thinks that he rules the tank.

I wouldn't say I would never again have one. They are truly beautiful, but again, it is a total a$$.
