Six-Line Wrasse

[scootingblenny]

I was wondering about my six-line and future problems. ive had him for about 7 months now and I read in quite a few places that six-lines often go bad as they gat larger, attacking both fish and inverts. However i do not know if this is the vast majority of six-lines or not (really whether pretty much all six-lines go thorugh this).
i recently had my first problem with mine. He attacked and killed three peppermint shrimp within the first three days of introducing them (i didn't get them for aesthetics anyway, got them for aiptasia, but it still worries me)
Within the next week ill be moving everything from my 55 gallon to a new 75 drilled and i was wondering if since i am going to be taking everything out and put in baggies, if i should go ahead and take the initiative and bring him to a LFS
once i get the 75 up and running i plan of putting lots of shrimp in there, 2 scarlet skunks 1 fire and 1 banded coral (i love shrimp) as well as a yellow tang and a lawnmower blenny. what i really want to know is, is there a good chance my six-line is going to be one of the ones that become aggressive and if so should i go ahead and take him back to a LFS while i already have him out?
if there is a good chance he is not going to become agressive, i plan on getting big shrimp to hopefully prevent attacks but really rather stop problems before they begin if, hopefully not, they begin at all. Thanks

I've had my 6 line for about a year. No problem so far. They only get about 3' long. I feed my fish a little each day, high protien flake in the morning and brine shrimp at night. I'm very careful about how much I feed and don't over do it. I think a lot of agression problems you hear about are because a lot of people under feed their fish. Once every three ddays and things like that. In the wild, fish eat more often than every tree days. Part of their agression is to protect their feeding area. Not enough food, agression.IMO 3" not 3'

i dont know much about the wrasse but i think u might wanna be careful w/ the coral banded b/c i think they might become territorial and attack the other shrimp

I've had a couple of six-line wrasses over the years and did have a problem with one. It would attack and attempt to consume any type of crab, shrimp or snail. It finally met its demise when it apparently got a small cleaner crab stuck in its throat. I sure didn't shed any tears for the loss. After that experience I took the six-line wrasse off of my personal "reef safe" list.
