6Line Wrasse vs Shrimp

[flydan]

Hey,
I would like to get a 6Line Wrasse after hearing all the raves here and seeing a couple at a lfs. Has anybody had a problem with them going after their shrimp? I read that they do.
Thanks,
Dan'l

I didn't have any problems with mine. I love him (while I had him). My obnoxious Sally lightfoot crab ate mine. Lucky for me, someone ate my sally. I was going to take the tank apart and get him out myself but, as luck would have it, the circle of life took care of that for me. I know you will love the 6 line.

I have a six-line wrasse and he some times pecks at my snails and hermits and but he hasen't killed any thing except one scarlet reef hermit but thats all.
If I keep him well feed he seem to not bug my clean up crew as much.

I have always had shrimp with my six line, no problem.

Hey,
Thanks to all the 6Line lovers out there! While I've got your attention, what do yours eat, or are they little piglets?
Take care,
Dan'l

My six line wrasse has never bothered my shrimp. Doesn't pay any attention to them.

My 6 line will eat blackworms, live and frozen brine and mysis shrimp. He has become a fat little devil in my 58 reef but he bothers no one and just keeps bending around the rocks (don't you love how they do that).

 

[jimi]

Yep, they are little piglets mine eats brine,mysis,flake,seaweed, and constantly hunts the liverock for little critters.

My eats any thing I put in there even my arm I was cleaning my glass and he bit my arm it scared the hell out of me.

Go for it, these guys have the best eyes, also great with inverst and eats anything, mine eats all the left overs that float towards the bottom, he won't pick on big pieces of food cause his mouth is so small, so as the others pick apart the food he gets the tiny little pieces. And they are fun to watch because of how they swim in and out of the rock.
