Default Pseudocheilinus hexataenia (Six Line Wrasse) - Sept '05 Fish of the Month


Pseudocheilinus hexataenia


Reef Safe: Yes
Attitude:

Max Size: 3"
Diet: Carnivore
Care: Easy

Origin: Fiji, Indo-Pacific

Personal Observations -

What a cool wrasse. I've owned wrasses that were not so.. let's say, nice. The Six-Line on the other hand, is just even keel. So mellow. It doesn't seem to carry a grudge. Mellow does not mean shy; this fish will come up and say hello and swim around the front of the tank. And man is it a cool swimmer! It just glides around the rocks effortlessly looking for something to pick at. But don't worry, it won't touch your corals, it likes pods, worms.. that sort of thing. It doesn't seem to bother my crabs or snails though.

The Six-Line wrasse is an easy feeder. I feed mine formula foods and cyclop-eeze. The food barely hits the water and he is on it grabbing a chunk before my Fox Face can blink an eye.

Compatibility with many other fish, easy feeding and reef safe make this fish a high recommendation and 3reef's first Fish of the Month!

PLEASE SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES WITH THIS FISH!
