Sixline Wrasse

[serpentar]

Will a 6 line wrasse eat my hermits or emerald crabs, or cleaner shrimp? I know wrasses like crustacions, but not sure about a 6 line? thanks

They won't bother the above mentioned, but they will eat any worms you may have.

 

[serpentar]

does that include feather dusters? After all they are a worm w/ a crown.

 

[joojoo]

Yes it does.

How about a neon dottyback, will it eat my crustacions?

 

[nereef]

i believe most dottybacks are reef safe.

this is usually true unless you get a 6line from hell like i did. he ripped my emrald crabs legs off and he attacked my snails, he beat up my clown, and he ate my star fish. i dont know why mine was like that he was just evil i guess.

is there anything you can get that will eat the bristle worms and wont bother the feather dusters and the shrimp and crabs?

 

[serpentar]

maybe an arrow crab, but then again that may eat the feather dusters?

 

[belly up]

well why do you want to get rid of the bristle worms they are a benifitial part of the clean up crew in your tank, unless they are really big

 

[jessica47421]

there is alot of them in there and i know they are going to get big soon and i just have this weird thing about worms they are gross looking. lol

 

[belly up]

oh ok lol. well then coral banded shrimp and arrow crabs have been known to eat worms but i dont think they would bother feather dusters. but they both tend to get a bit agressive around other inverts.

My sixline never bothered my shrimps, crabs, or feather dusters.

i have 3 feather dusters..... a bunch of shrimp... hermit crabs snails crabs... my sixline doesnt bother anything... he cruises around the tank inbetween all the rock work looking for pest worms.
an arrow crab is like 25x more dangerous to its tank inhabitants then a sixline wrasse would be.

I've had my sixline for almost 3 years now, the only thing he ate were the peppermint shrimp. Never bother featherdusters hermits, snails or my cleaner shrimp or coral banded.

I have 2 large feather dusters, and numerous small ones growing on the rocks in my reef, and my six line has never touched any of them. he has also never picked at any of the 5 shrimps that i have, this is just my experience though, I know alot of people who have gotten psycho ones.

 

[joojoo]

Ya, you have to take into account different fish have different personalities.

 

[mamasky712]

My 6 line has never bothered any of my feather dusters but he does eat every little pod in my tank. lol

 

[serpentar]

anyone know if a sixline & fourline wrasse will get along? also how big does a fourline wrasse get?
