Just before I go out and get another sixline wrasse are they O.K. with sps corals e.g. do they nip.

:bounce: :bounce:

Didn't think you would last too long without another sixline Fay :roll:

They are fine with sps, and all other corals.

Yip all good.

My sixline has been round for about 4 years now i think, never caused a problem.

I also think it helps to keep things like parasitic snails and nudis down. Although i do not no this for sure.

Six lines are awesome, great reef fish!

Thanks everyone

I always worry about mine whenever I put a new coral into my tank he seems to always take an interest in them but have never seen him np at them

Hows ya frags girl??

All good that red cap is showing new growth others all good will have to try and take some pics :lol:

Next time I'm out the Port - is it OK to visit ?

any chance of getting any frag's from you

ps . I removed 3 small starfish from my tank tonight ( hopefully no more remain)

Sure just call into the Port Waikato Wharf Store

But it's hard to frag a frag :lol: no problems once they have grown I have just got into sps corals so they need time.

I have a pair. They have spawned in the tank several times.

That's pretty cool! Do they hang out together or just for mating?

Could you make a video of this?

Can you tell the difference between male and female? Size diff?

It's really easy to tell them apart in Pies tank, the female is the one that always has a huge belly

Yeah thats pretty much it. The female is smaller, but her stomach is quite different. Once she releases her eggs she has a flat stomach like its been pinched flat, then it slowly grows over a month or so. There is also a strange mark on the rear tail of my female, but I think its more likley just a flaw that a sex marker.

I notice with my royal dottybacks that the males and female have a very distinct difference in the vibrance of their colour.

Both females are noticeably duller, and the male is significantly more vibrant. I've read that this is a common differentiator of sexes in a lot of fish.

Have you noticed anything like that in the wrasses?

Hey Pies, have you tried bringing the young up? if so how far do you get?

My wrasse is very fat, wonder if that means it's a female. If I introduced one that may be male, would they hit it off? What do you think?

It's only a 4 foot tank.

They have spawned, I havn't seen any young.

A lot of what I have read says you can't keep 2 together, my tank is bigger than most though. I don't know how 2 will get on, I am just lucky I ended up with a pair, its a long story but was an accident.

Good luck.
