Hi Mona,
I'm sure you've seen threads of mine on my Six Line but I absolutely love him. I didn't have one problem acclimating him and when I put him in he swam all around. About the cocoon. I didn't know they did that and when I woke the next morning he was at the bottom of one of my rocks in that cocoon they make. I read it's so others can't smell them. I thought he was dead and ran to the computer and did a search. After I found out that's what they make for protection, I was relieved. Now I think it's the coolest thing. He now has a home inside one of the rocks and I don't see him in the morning until the lights have been on for a while. He has added so much life to the tank. I really enjoy watching him. Good luck. Ant.
PS-I added my 6 line after my clowns had been in for two weeks and they all did just fine. Plus, I only have a 20 gal. They swim around together a lot.

I had one that would make a sack most nights to sleep in. In the morning after he left the clean up crew would take it down for him. This all before one day he snapped and took out two of my shrimp. I had to take him back to the LFS. I hear this is rare in 6-lines, but that it does happen every now and then. I went with a bi-color blenny for now, but would someday like to get another 6-line. They are fun to watch!

I think that I've decided that I am going to add my 6-line and the coral beauty together next weekend (not this weekend, clowns only in for 2 weeks). I can see how adding both at once will cut down a little on the stress in the tank. After reading responses on this thread, there is more positive than other in adding a 6-line, and I definitely want him and the coral beauty.
So...any responses on this is more than welcome. I'm excited, and so is my daughter, that I've finally made up my mind about this!!!
Input definitely welcomed...

We're getting them at the LFS where we bought our first babies. I know the saltwater manager and get along with her very well...and I don't think she'll give me a bum deal...cuz she knows me too. Also, I do other business with her, and I've always been very impressed with her.
OK, now I'm getting excited...shoot...hafta wait til next weekend.

HI Mona, you post alot on my threads too!! Hi Fishmamma!! I LOVE my 6 line...he was the 3rd fish in for me....my 2 maroons and then him. He is fantastic and is very active around the tank. Mine loves to swim alone but does at times hang out with my maroons. I never see him sleep, he hides so if he does that cacoon thing, I have never seen it,but he has slept behind a shell skeleton for a while..not sure if he still goes back there. A fish definitely worth having... :cheer:
