Sixline and Lunare wrasse, bad idea?
Hi,
I am thinking if adding a sixline wrasse in the next couple of weeks to my tank. I have a lunare wrasse that is about 4" long, and just seems to be a nuisance and not a bully. The only problem I have had from it is how recklessly it swims. Please give your thoughts on adding a sixline, and the degree they will or will not get along.
Also, are sixlines good to take frozen and prepared food once they settle into a system?
Thanks for your input,
David

Well in my exp 6lines are generally nice docile fish that can take care of them selves,they rarely exceed 4 " as opposed to the T lunare that can get 12" or so, they can be troublesom as they get size, remember as fish grow they tend to need to increase their personal "zone"

they should both stay out of eachothers way. they tend to feed on different things. the 6 will eat the pods on the LR and sand. while the lunar will just eat.

He is a fatty!
I have a mandarin, do you think they could cancel out each others dietary supply? I have a friend with a 55 gal refugium that is the New York city of Pods, so I have been rotating rocks in and out of his system.
The lunare is going bye bye as soon as I can catch him, I guess I should mention that. He was a gift.

DO NOT GET THE 6!!! if you have a mandarin. the mandarin can not compete with the speed of the 6 for the pods. in a much larger tank you might get away with it, but in a 75 i do not think so.

West Pat I emphatically agree with Geoff, the 6 line is not a shy,slow, picky eater like the mandarin and when the pods are all gone they will eat whatever is around.

The mantle monster is pretty cool and I have viewed your site before!
Can anyone give me thoughts on catching a wrasse that will not go 3 inches from the live rock.
Thanks,
DAvid
