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! |
First fish addition to my tank in couple of years. Got him to help take care of nuisance small snails in aquarium is infested with.
Lucky LFS had one in stock. ($14.00) - seems so little for such a great looking and benificial fish.
Took to tank wonderfully...immediatly checking out holes and crevices looking for something to eat. Must have been hungry in LFS holding pen.
Reading up on him on net - reportedly eats pyrimid snails (clam nemisis), flat worms, bristle worms, and other small snail types...even reported to act like a cleaner wrasse and will pick ick off of other fish (not something I am excited to see - just good to know.)
Very hardy fish, recommended for any aquarim...
Thanks for above info.
