    Four or Sixline Wrasse

    They're cool. When you have a toss up choice of 2 similar fish like this, consider that the 4 line comes from Hawaii, the 6 from the Indian Ocean. Always go with Hawaiin of Australian fish if possible.

    what would the perfect lfs have?

    Sorry, the place I worked for went out of business, the owner retired finally and the kids didn't want it. One piece of advice about who you get your fish from, go there and check out the livestock. Even if you have to fly to California, you can write off 50% of that trip anyway, and it is...
