![]() Yeah, Six-lines seem to get pretty aggro after a certain amount of time.
BTW Tony, I had the same problem with my Lubbock's Wrasse as well. He's a shy little bugger and only swims along the back of the tank. |

![]() So I guess I should get rid of my six line. Any suggestions how to get him out?

![]() Gooooooood luck with that one!
![]() You can read about my escapades in the same situation. http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=27132 If it's any consolation, although I gave up trying to remove my sixline (he is just way too smart to fall for any trap or be fished out, and far too fast to be netted out), he's better behaved towards the newest-addition (potter's angel) now, so I don't feel the pressure anymore to remove and isolate him like I did at the beginning of that thread. Although I still have my fishing rig ready to go "just in case." (I had to get a very small hook from a fishing store, they looked at me like they thought I was an idiot, going in there and asking for "one hook please.") Of course I have tankmates in there that shouldn't theoretically be threatened by a sixline smaller than them anyhow. Smaller fish might be at perpetual risk so you might need to remove him if you can. I know my sixline is responsible for killing a mandarin, I imagine a small goby wouldn't fare a lot better in a full out assault like what happened there. (Stupid fish..)

![]() The only way to make a 6line behave is for it to have a near death experience. Mine had a serious attitude until it survived electrocution and two or three weeks of me thinking everything had died and trying to decide if I would stay in the hobby (no lights, just enough disgusting water to cover all the rocks flattened on the bottom, no heat and no food). After that, he is nice to every new fish that comes in.

![]() Well the neon goby is actually exploring the tank alot more today and it actually got some food at feeding time. The six line is still harassing it a bit but it doesnt seem to be as high on his priority list anymore
