![]() I should say that it is really a hardy fish, I've had mine for over three years and he keeps on ticking.

![]() They are a beautiful fish and interesting to watch. However mine is a bully to any small inhabitants or newly introduced fish. So much so that he has even killed a few.

![]() I quite enjoy mine. Lots of character, not much of a bully in my tank. It could be because it is young, I have heard they get meaner with age. It is usually the last one to come out for feeding and my female maroon clown usually bosses him around at that time.
When I was moving livestock over from my 75g reef to my 135, I had moved lots of the liverock over and had a rubbermaid sitting on the floor with just a few drops of water in it. I was busy chasing around my other fish into nets when I walked over and saw the 6 line in the rubbermaid. He must have been in there for a few minutes already, he was definatly freaked out as when I put him into the new tank he hid for two days. Although it certainly made catching him easy! My tank now is completely canopied in, so there is no chance of carpet surfing. He has only made it into my overflow once. It'll be interesting to see how he does when I introduce a few new fish to the tank next weekend, as the tank will become a bit more crowded. Hopefully lots of hiding spots, and moving some rock around, will overcome any aggression towards the new fish.

![]() I have a 14g Nano, only occup. are a shrimp/goby. I would like to put in a couple fish that wont go run and hid when I get close to the tank.
I saw a 6L wrasse at the LFS, was told not to put it in anything smaller that a 30g., but I have been on-line looking and have found w/pages that say they are ok in a smaller tank. Anyone have any experience here? Would the 6 line bug the goby? |

![]() I got a big fat one and he stays out of the Niger's way but I am pretty sure he has eaten every pod and worm in the tank.
![]() I can see how it would be a problem with smaller fish. They are fast and feisty. Better not put one in with that goby unless it is small.

![]() I'm not too sure. If the fish is small he might do OK in that 14g for a little while but as he gets a little bigger he may grow restless. Wrasses are very active swimmers, they never really stop to take a break. They're almost like a hornet buzzing around the tank.
