 sixline wrasse behavior
i've had my sixline wrasse for a few weeks now and i have a questioin pertaining it's behavior around shrimp. i have had a fire shrimp for about a month, the shrimp would hide quite a bit but would come out to feed. i noticed about a week ago that the shrimp had molted (after finding the molting stuck to one of the power heads) but he was going on about his business...hiding and feeding. i realize after a molting, shrimp tend to hide more than usual until they "heal". a few days later (today) i find that my shrimp wasn't moving at all while i was feeding the tank. so i moved the rock that would expose his hideout, then i find his remains...near the tail, he was almost split in two. it looks as though my wrasse was up to no good. has anyone had problems with sixline wrasse going after larger shrimp (lysmata), the shrimp was about as big as the sixline. i also have had my tank running for about six months now and i have never noticed bristleworms or serpent stars that could possibly do this...the fault always comes back to the wrasse. i was wondering if anyone else has had experiences such as this with a sixline wrasse or other. thanks in advance... _________  |
