I'll echo Mark's concern about housing a 6line and mandarin together, I did the combo in a 75g for nearly a year before the 6line went berserk and attacked the mandarin. I found the poor thing laying on the bottom without any fins left and no means of locomotion. Succumbed that night. Stupid 6line. They start off life as nice fish but turn into territorial bullies/jerks once a few years old. I won't get another after this one goes. Any fish that he deems as "competition" had better be able to attack back otherwise he relentlessly bullies them. He attacked my flame hawk at first, until the flame hawk attacked back (and won), same for my potters angel, he relentlessly targetted her until she started fighting back (and winning). Total bully mentality - as long as he thinks he can get away with it, he'll be a jerk.

Sorry for the off topic tangent BTW.

I guess so it's not a completely random musing, I'm currently trying "Artic Pods" (by Reed Mariculture). They're like big honking cyclops-eeze. I bought them in the hopes my CBB would take to them so that his diet isn't completely monotypic on mysis, but so far no go. My tang seems to like them though Course he'd probably eat rocks if I offered them to him, so I guess that's not much of an endorsement.
