Brianemone Posted December 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 do you think it jumped because of other fish?? or just because it can? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 I have one of these wee guys. Cool fish. I have never had a problem with them jumping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted December 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 i agree they are a very cool fish, mine seems very mellow, how long do they normally take to get adventurous and come out in the open alot?? how long have you had yours for TM??

Fay Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Had mine for about six months plus, doesn't jump, cruises around at 100 miles an hour in and out of the rocks feeding doesn't stay out as such always on the move very beautiful fish.

Drifty Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 mines always out and about looking for food. Eats anything i feed the other fish spiralina nori etc. Found him in the overflow once but that was months ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petplanet Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 I had one. It jumped. It died. I wonder how many unexplained fish deaths are fish that have jumped and killed themselves hitting glass lids? Wrasses in general are jumpers. I have lost three out of a tank that is 95% covered with lids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted December 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 thats why then, h=fish are like kids, you put a lid over them and tell them not to jump and they will do it just because they can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perky Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 i heard that they will tear appart ornamental shrimp (cleaners etc). Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 i heard that they will tear appart ornamental shrimp (cleaners etc). Is this true? SIxline wrasse is fine with shrimps. Eight line wrasse will eat shrimps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Reef is correct, the 6line will be fine with shrimp (I have 6 shrimp, none were bothered by the 6line). I had an 8 line for a while (in my sump), nasty piece of work, no doubt it would snack on anything it could. Evil fish. Pies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben19185074 Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 my sixline sometime bite of the legs of the shrimp~ but nothing worst then that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
