6 line wrasse
 
Anyone out there have any luck in catching 6 lines . Have been trying to get mine out for the past week. Set up a few traps now and have caught almost all the other fish but the 6 line wrasse. Any ideas ?
Thanks , Chris

I had to feed my tank with a net for a week and eventualy the 6 line swam in. Other than that, drain all the water and pick him up!

I had one in the past and he was the most decile fish in the tank. A real nice fish.

ya thats my next one, i have a good top so he can't jump out, from what i've heard there famous for jumping unfortuneately :sad:

Any other fish that looks like him or wrasse in that case , he constantly will attack that fish untill it dies. He has taken a liking to sexy shrimp and eaten 8 of them. Just had enough of it and need him out of my display tank. I do have a great home though for him in my grow out tank. Reef Raf I have tried the net feeding will not go near it and have not gotten ****ed enough to drain the tank and scoop him out that way. I used to be able to catch him in a mantis trap (back when he was a model citizen) but he has gotten smart since then. Maybe I'll try fishing this week. Do you think they sell small enough barbless hooks.
Thanks , Chris

Tried that one before, doesn't work. Go buy a couple of large garbage cans, siphon tank into them, grab fish, put water back, return garbage cans for refund. Done.

Usually when I do a big water change he goes and hides in the rocks. Just not ready to go that route yet.

Good luck to you.
