Wanted: six line wrasse Reign of Terror over !!!

[Not an IT guy]

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. The Canadian mysis you just couldn’t resist and as a meal fit for a king you went for it and down came the door “SLAM” You and your army fell as you watch from inside the plexiglass trap box. As you watch yourself get lifted up and out and into the dungeon sump, you watch the saltwater castle rejoice and out comes the scared blue throat wrasse your have terrorized for months.

the end

final score
Reefer 1- six line 3657847

Funny, so may people seem to have trouble with these fish, but I've kept one or more in every tank I've had since the 80's without any trouble at all...

It might be time for an intervention here.

6 line has been on my list of “never again” fish… for past 40 years!

As I am sure you are aware every fish is different. Having said that the success to keeping these is the design of the system and fish that compete for similar food. I've also had one for many years and found it to be an amazing fish to spend 30 minutes or so watching it forage for food.

Isn't a fish for everyone no doubt but it is probably one of the better utilitarian fish around.

Edit: OP - glad you are able to catch it to rehome. /cheer!

Feels so good to catch a tank menace! Lol!

I’ve kept one in virtually every tank for the last 17-18 years. Of the half dozen or so that I’ve owned I have only had one turn into a jerk. I have one in my current tank that is less evil than the flame hawk he steers clear of. They are tough to catch for sure. Mine got stung good yesterday taking food from an anemone in the tank.

 

[SaltwaterSky]

Job well done! It's wild how a wrasse like that can completely takeover a tank.

Did you say “yippee-ki-yay”, like in Die Hard?

I loved my 6 line wrasse, had him yrs without incident, you guys are scaring me.

 

[Lavey29]

Terminator said it too

 

[BanjoBandito]

I have a neon dottyback in mine and have often contemplated tossing a six line wrasse in the tank

My mistake was adding it first. It should be the last fish you add. I fell in love with its colors and I had to have it right away.

Lol was just thinking that it might be worth it to just get a six line given how hard it's been to find a pink streak....nah. I will wait.

My neon dottyback was in my big system first, but there’s nothing in there that looks like him - no blennies, gobies, wrasses
