Six line Wrasses

[Znut Reefer]

I believe Gary told me he has 3 six line wrasses in his tank for flatworm control. Has anyone else tried it. I would think it would be okay provided you have a large tank.

I'm also happy to report: Have not seen any more AEFW in my tank for over 2 weeks now. Yipee! But it was hard work to get there. So there is hope for those who discover they have these pests.

I keep three of them together with one four line wrasse since about 2 years. Added two of them together. The third one was attacked in the beginning, now they swim side by side without problems. IMO they are really onof the the best fish in the fight against turbellaria.

Based on my experience the six lines wrasse It's one of the best fishes you can add to a reef tank to control the growth of the flatworms of the genus planariae...

I can't keep them in my tanks. I've maybe had four over the past 15 years and every one of them ended up on the floor. Am I the only one with this problem?

What other fish do you have?

I put a six line in last week and have not seen it since.

When I put my first six line in, my scarlet hawk tried to give it a hard time. But soon learned the six line was not having it. The six line started picking back at the hawk. So we now know who is boss.

timsVw: Have you checked your tank at night? sometimes they only come out at night until they get use to your tank.

I had one jump, and I had another for about 4 years and I just could not find him one day. Great fish I might add!
You guys with more than one how may gallons are your tanks?

Wrasses in general are notorious jumpers. You really need a covered tank to keep them.

My tank is not covered, and I do not see him at night. But I looked around the tank and have not seen him either.

Six-Lines sleep at night. Not a good time to try and find them.

Best way to lure one out, feed. They are fat kids in a tiny fishes body.
