6lines..
So what do people do with their older 6line wrasses as they get more cantankerous, territorial, and just overall-kind-of-nasty?
How long do they live? I've had my 6line wrasse for at least 4 years now, and he's definitely confirming the notion that these fish get meaner as they age. Think I'm gonna have to try to catch him out of my 75 and put him in a different tank (haha good luck with that eh?  ). Anyone got any tips for catching a wrasse? I'm half wondering if I could try putting some cyclops into a bottle and see if I can coax him into swimming into it. Probably the longest shot ever, but I just don't see how to catch a 6line wrasse with a net short of removing all rock from the tank.

catching 6 line
my 6 line was definitely mean but had a change of attitude after doing some carpet surfing and being ressurrected with some CPR. Hes more mellow now since then.
as far as catching him is concerned...... good luck

My sixline is so curious that when I go fishing for other fish in my tank he is the first to be traped or hooked. They can really hide in rocks so going after them with a net is out of the question.

My sixline was a bastard! He attacked anyone new (even after changing the rocks) and sometimes turned on fish that were in the system before he came along. Then the heater broke and killed off everything (or so I thought). After taking out most of the water and running carbon for two weeks I filled the tank back up and....he was still alive!
Now he doesn't even pick on my anthias. I think every sixline needs a near death experience in order to calm down.
