I have a sixline and this thing is messed. First I had him in a 24 gal aquapod and he was picking on my firefish and my yellow watchman. Then i moved him in a 55 with three chromis. Now he is picking on them when he was in there last. I also had a chromis in my aquapod and the sixline was not picking on him.
Whats his problem? :mad:

My sixline was the first fish I ever bought. He is still alive and kicking. He has never harrassed any of my other fish or corals. I wonder if it's a personality thing with yours. :notsure:

You know how sixlines eat a snail that kills clams. They are tiny white coned snails. i kept on seeing them on my clam and the wrasse has been in there for a long time. I bought a derasa clam then about a week later i saw those snails. I kept on taking out the snails that i saw on the clam. Then a month passed by and the clam died from them. I think they got to the inside and killed it. :mad:

So thats another thing my wrasse is messed.

I think you hit it on the head. I wanted a Sixline for my tank but after reading so many post, I may stear away from them. Some get along fine and others can be down right bullies regardless of when they were introduced to the tank.

I have a 6line with 2 percs. clowns and yellow watchman he is the niceset one i have in tank. All he does eats pods and worms around the rocks and sand. He doesnt bother any other fishes or corals.

my sixline has never touched another fish nor coral.
him and my cherub angel just swim together and pick at algae.
sounds like yours needs counseling...

they can be mean little guys! My wrasse would pick on anything that was smaller than him! I was so tempted to put my hand in and swat him a few times lol He almost killed my clown so I traded him in.
