six line wrasse

Hello, I have noticed about a month ago my six line was beat up. And I had believed it to either be fin rot, an attack, or badly damaged from darting around the rockscape. Is it possible the wrasse would almost completely take its dorsal fin off from scraping around the rocks? Or is it most...

Hi! We have a 6-line wrasse whose belly has become distended in the last 24 hours. We had a fish recently get sick and pass (a dwarf angel who got one-sided popeye and began swimming weird), but we retrieved it from the tank before it actually died (to control the ammonia). We tried to feed the...

I have two fish to sell: 1. Bicolor angelfish 3.5” $60 2. Six line wrasse 2” $40 I got these in a tank purchase and don’t have room with my current livestock. Both healthy and colorful. Photos don’t have good light in the hold tank so not doing them justice.

I’ve checked my overflow box and basically as much of the live rock as I can. But my porky little six line wrasse hasn’t shown up for about a week. I’ve read they can bury and even sifted my sand as good as I could and he never appeared. Just wondering if he pulled a fast one or if this is...

I've heard probably most people say they had huge aggression issues with six lines, and a few claim they were model citizens. I would love to have one, but I'm wondering what circumstances you've had that resulted in aggression or peacefulness? Specifically tank size, other inhabitants, and also...

Are they compatible? My sixline wrasses doesnt go after the flatworms on the glass and they are getting out of hand. Need some suggestions to keep them in check. It is the smaller ghost flatworms, i mainly see them on the glass, tiny little guys. Flatworm exit doesnt really work on them, have...

my return pump is usually set to turn off over night but I forgot to rest the time after shutting everything down to clean and reorganize my tank before adding new coral and fish. Any who, the return pump stayed on over night and over heated the tank to about 85F. My leopard wrasse seems super...

This a. Quick video. My wrasse has been in my tank for over a week. Was doing well swimming around a lot. Very active. Yesterday appeared very lethargic. And stayed in his spot under the rock most of the day. Today he has been here all day. Didn’t even come out to eat. this has been his...

Ordered 2 six line wrasses online. One arrived dead with spots and a web like film peeling off. The second appeared fine, added him to the tank. (Didn’t have a quarantine tank set up but working on one now) the next afternoon he seemed uninterested in eating and also had a film peeling off...

I want to add a file fish for aiptasia. I have a fire fish, green clown goby and 6-line. Not sure if it a good idea to add him in but heard it’s ok to. What’s your thoughts? 29 gallon

I have a 6 line wrasse who has been alone in my 20 gallon tank for roughly 4 months (since late October when I lost all of its other tank-mates to a horrible ich outbreak). According to my research, it appears the 6 line will likely not take kindly to any new tank mates (and I’d like to avoid...

Hi I am new to the hobby and a lot of tiny white worm-like creatures appeared eating algae in my tank. Please let me know if you know what they are and if I should worry. I was thinking to add a six-line wrasse some weeks ago (but decided against it because all the post saying it goes crazy...

So I've got an IM 20g Pro, well established. Pods and little brown flatworms galore. Which is part of why I want to get a Wrasse, they are getting a bit out of control (worms). Not hurting anything yet but I worry they may start getting around some SPS bases, etc. They are not AEFW just the...

The battle do the 120 is officially over. The six line put up a valiant effort. 120 days you made the saltwater castle a battlefield with two casualties solar flare orchid dottyback. Endless times you tested the trap and successfully avoid. Even laughed. But today today your let your guard down...

My small piece of the ocean, 12 gal JBJ nanocube, has been running since June. We have soft and LPS corals, crabs, and amphipods- oh my. Everything was going well until the Zoas snapped closed and lo and behold- the dreaded Zoa Spiders. Sucked one out and dipped in iodine immediately, but I am...

Hey guys! Long time no see so I have a pretty big aptasia problem I currently have a six line wrasse, I have been doing aptasia x, but they seem to spread to other places after. I’m guessing when they stress during, they’re releasing their babies. I really want to get 5 or 6 (medium size is...

I recently got a six line wrasse and made the school boy error of not having a QT tank. Shortly after adding him I noticed a white spot near his tail. I must have missed this earlier, as it’s just above the peacock feather like pattern on his tail. At first I thought it was part of his...

Morning everyone, I hope you are all well?! Just a quick one frome me, a friend of mine is wanting rid of his Jade wrasse and I'm wanting to know your advice on adding it to my aquarium? (Which I already have a 6 Line Wrasse) I've read plenty of horror stories regarding mixing wrasse, but I...

First off please let me know if this is posted in the wrong place, as it is my first thread on this site. *Coming from freshwater* I have a 14 gallon cube currently with a pair of young percula clownfish (one is probably 2 inches or so and the other might be 1.5ish), as well as several hermit...

I’ve been running a nanocube or biocube for 7 years now. In that time I’ve had an engineer goby (who just passed at age 10 and nearly 2ft long) and a four stripe damsel the whole time. A Madagascar clownfish, green corris wrasse, and coral beauty angel have all passed through. I had to get rid...

I’ve got a 32 biocube led. I just lost my engineer goby and my only fish in there is a four stripe damsel. Can I add a six line without him bullying my damsel to death so I can get some color? Or should I go with a different wrasse? I need something that can deal with my four stripe and still...

I’ve had this Six Line Wrasse for about 4 months and she’s been a beautiful addition. Starting about two days ago, my larger Davinci clownfish has unfortunately been acting very aggressive towards my smaller clown fish, which I’ve been told is relatively normal (the smaller guy is hiding out...

Hey guys, I'm currently quarantining two small clownfish and one small 6-line wrasse. Over the course of a week I have slowly been bringing them up to therapeutic levels of copper. I am noticing that both clowns have white stringy poop which, (feel free to correct me if I am wrong) are symptoms...

I've had him around a week now, he's been doing great so far.. Except this morning. I found him laying on his side between two of my LR and he has this reddish patch on his side. I haven't changed anything in my tank or added any new livestock.. Anyone know if he's going to survive whatever...

Ok so I bought my six line wrasse about 2 weeks ago. I’m wondering if anybody else is seeing what I am seeing and thinks she could be pregnant?
