Wrasse - 6 Line Pseudocheilinus hexataenia

[Aquattro]

Mine found it's way into a pump impeller

Mine's still doing very well (>16mos), but he does have a bit of a death-wish. He's squirmed into the overflow chamber twice. Not an easy rescue. He seems to enjoy teasing the royal gramma a LOT. Gramma is territorial and does the wide-mouth charge. 6-line dances around him, flashing and prompting charges. Then zip off into the rocks for another snack.

I was sure i had the worlds fattest 6-line he was so fat he could hardly swim, then he died due to a poweroutage

Generally, I got mad at six-lines within a year and got rid of them. My current resident lives with a trigger and now I like them !

Very nice fish. Had no problems with him until I added a Neon Dottyback to the tank. They didn't fight the Dottyback just kept him in a hole in the rock until he starved.

I've had mine for over two years. Ever since he jumped out of the tank about 5 months ago (I was watching TV and heard one of the cats playing with something by the tankI was able to save him from the carpet and give him fish CPR) however he has been somewhat mentally handicapped since the accident.

I have had a fat one for about 1.5 years. I have been trying to catch him for about half a year. He decided he liked my sexy shrimp. He ate about 8 of them. Hated him ever since.

currently alive 0-6 months
Pulled him out of the sump twice now is happy but fights with my bicolor pseudochromis
Had a big fat one previously that lived about a week before jumping out

Still going at a year+, model citizen to all, no signs of aggression (except to the pods, wouldn't think of a Mandarin with him). One of the most interesting fish in the tank specially how he curves his body then rides the current.

Mine is currently my oldest fish, well over the 5 year mark now.

Was a model citizen for about 3 years then started noticing some issues with aggression. Will leave other fish alone only if they are able to stand up to the bullying or able to fight back. Ie. if he's injured in a backlash attach, that will cause him to respect the peace from then on. He has killed a mandarin, completely randomly and without warning, I found the mandarin with his fins chewed off and unable to swim, he succumbed to his injuries within a few hours. I have heard that they can be aggressive like this, as they age, to fish which compete for the same foods (pod hunters particularly), mine seems to fit that pattern. I would only keep them with fish that would be capable to put up a fight in return should they decide to stir up trouble.
