General Sixline Behavior

[renogaw]

as for their behaviour, they will kill off any wrasse added after it, but there are ways around this too. they will eat all your pods, so don't have a mandarin. they will even outcompete flatworms for food.

Here is an interesting view on egg crate and how they work.

lost mine due to carpet surfing

actually laminate floor surfing

 

[subielover]

I have mine in a Biocube and he did leap into the back chambers after only being in the tank for a few days. Never did it again, but is concern enough to add a top once I get a sunpod.

 

[my obsession]

I've had my six line for almost a year with no problem. My Mystery Wrasse on the other hand, jumped right through the egg crate.

Same... my lfs has a 90g mixed reef DT and has had a sixline running open tank for years, but he went through about 5 yellow corris wrasses to jumping.

You know, I was going to say that IDK if it will affect light, but I deleted it.
I was thinking the same thing you were, but I figured since everyone encourages teh use of them, and up until now I've NEVER seen anything to make me think it would be bad, I decided not to mention.
Sorry for the possibly bad advice. Go w/ spanko's idea.

mine has never even swam towards the upper 5 inches of the tank

Mine have also never jumped...The only time I have even seen them come near the top was looking around powerheads and stuff, then they went right back down.
