I have a six line wrass with 2 cleaner shrimp in the tank currently. I haven't had any problems with the wrass at all. Just to be on the safe side buy the biggest shrimp you can get. HTH

Naw, you should be fine. I have shrimp with my sixline wrasse. Only thing he did when I added my shrimp was check out the new additions with some curiosity.

Are you positive the wrasse ate the blood shrimp?

It is highly unlikely a six line would eat a shrimp. It has a very small mouth after all. Mine has never looked at a shrimp, and I got the shrimp when they were teeny.

I didnt see him kill it but was feeding on it when i caught him,the shrimp had just molted to,i guess it could have been the hermits but they dont seem to bother anything.

Just because u say the wrasse eating the carcasse doesnt mean anything. They will pick at things. The wrasse probaly didnt kill the shrimp they are really intolerable to amonia so that might have killed it.

6 lines are pod eaters,it might have been eating the bugs that were eating the shrimp.
