Had one in a 17 gal with a pair of clowns for 2 years no issues . Transfered to a 45gal with a lemon peel angel and a pair of Maroons and a flame hawk. It's about to be a year no issues . And the six line swims around and pecks at the rocks all day .

That's awesome. Glad to hear the Sixline is doing great. How are the maroons doing that's very cool to have a pair. I had a very aggressive grumpy maroon clownfish at one point lol. Still a beautiful fish.

@@TheCoralReefTalk they are doing great . They stick to one panel of the aquarium and keep to themselves. They occasionally explore when it's feeding time or when I'm staring at the tank .

@@H8ter11 That's great having a pair makes them even more fun to watch. My maroon back in the day would always rearrange snail shells and stuff in the tank all day, lol

I'm glad that I took a closer look at these guys and didn't pass them by. 100% planning on adopting one of these guys since I was forced to get a new tank due to a tank crash (salvaged 90% of my livestock, plus ALL of my original sand and live rock!) and I have a bigger tank now (30 gallons versus 13.5.) I will be waiting a few months to half a year to get my wrasse though - gotta let my reef build itself back up first so that the wrasse has plentiful snacks!❤

Sorry to hear about the tank crash, but that's awesome you're getting a bigger tank. This is such a great fish. Have fun setting up and getting your new aquarium set up and going! Happy New Year.

One of the most aggressive fish I have had the displeasure to have. Killed my orchid dotyback the same day it went into my 200g. Everyone I know that had one ended up taking it out of the tank.

@TheCoralReefTalk Жыл бұрын

Sorry to hear that. It's never fun when there is fish aggression. Some species are not very compatible and will fight it out for sure.

@guntherhemmrich9876 Жыл бұрын

I'm keeping this fish for two years now, and never observed any aggression. Chromis are way more kind of bad guys - at least in my experience.

@TheCoralReefTalk Жыл бұрын

Yeah I agree Chromis are little mob bosses lol The Six line is really not that aggressive. Thanks for watching.

Great video. I’ve always been afraid to get one of these because of aggression and they jump. Will they eat vermatid snails and is the CUC safe?

@TheCoralReefTalk Жыл бұрын

Thanks for checking out the video. The six line typically leave the cuc alone. I haven't really noticed an effect on vermited snails.

Will a Sixline eat zoa nudibranchs and aptasia? I have a mostly coral dominant 90 gallon tank. I only have a Scopas Tang, 1 green chromis who his retired here after cycling two other tanks 😊 and a mated pair of chocolate clowns. CuC are varias snails, hermit crabs and a tiger conch. Should I add a Sixline?

My lfs has a small 6 line wrasse very beautiful I would have purchased but I’m not sure about having one in a 16g tank what’s your thoughts?

@MrMastavida Жыл бұрын

That is way too small for a 6 line wrasse sadly it would suffer in such a small tank especially if you have more stocking.

@TheCoralReefTalk Жыл бұрын

I haven't had an issue with the Sixline eating soft coral. He swims around picking off pests. Yellow Coris wrasse is worth checking out as well.

@scootervargas9323 Жыл бұрын

I just got one today and he disappeared, lifted the rocks and didn’t find. Hopefully he is under the sand and will come out in the morning. Any other suggestions will be appreciated.

@TheCoralReefTalk Жыл бұрын

He may just be adjusting. Sometimes they can hide in a new environment. Give him time and see if he comes out during feeding. How was it today? Do you have a lid for your aquarium?

@scootervargas9323 Жыл бұрын

@@TheCoralReefTalk yes and I got his new tank mates today and I already fed him twice. He is definitely thriving along with every other fish.

Had one for five years, just died three months ago, but I couldn’t add another wrasse, my yellow tang is easily three times bigger didn’t help

Sry to hear that. It is great to enjoy a fish in your aquarium for that long. Are you not looking to add another one or are you thinking the yellow tang or other fish may be aggressive towards it. But, If you were to add another one using a tanklimate or acclimation box would help to see if the other fish will accept him.
