Sixline or McCosker's Flasher

[craigwmiller]

I picked up a McCosker's yesterday (amongst other things), and it immediately went and hid for the night (expected). I noticed it out of it's cocoon about an hour ago, and very shortly afterwards it was being chased unforgivingly by my Sixline

I moved the McCosker's into another tank by itself for now to let it relax and let me think...

I'm leaning towards keeping the McCosker's and rehoming the Sixline... Had the Sixline for about a year without issues, but it might just not fit the compatibility list? (Our stocking goal is a wide variety of smaller species with the McCoskar's/Sixline sizing)


Which would you keep? the Sixline or McCosker's Flasher?

I would keep the flasher. You will probably have problems with any new addition with the six line.

Six lines are evil!

[Madreefer]

Oh another thread on six lines misbehaving

Same story everytime

You'll be able to find trapping tips if you use the search button. Keep the McCoskers and rid the evil from your tank.

I have a trap you can borrow if you want Craig

[craigwmiller]

Sounds about right.

Trap being fabricated now

[craigwmiller]

Jason, you interested in a very well-behaved Sixline??

[waynemah]

You trapped the sixline within 10 minutes? WOW! your the man!

Let me guess, you put the McKoskers in the trap lol

Heh, wayne, actually took about 2 minutes, maybe 90 seconds. this sixline is ALWAYS right front and center (unless a net is in someone's hand), and with maybe 10 mysis shrimps in the pop bottle, he was in there like a dirty (fish?)
