HelifaxNZ Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hi guys, I'm thinking of getting a 6-line wrasse. I currently have a cleaner shrimp, 2 Ocellaris Clowns, and 1 clown goby. Would the wrasse be ok with the other inhabitants? It won't harrass/eat the shrimp? I'm thinking later at getting a purple firefish, but I'm scared the wrasse will harrass it. Anyone have any experience with that combination? Many thanks Helifax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hi Helifax I'm not sure how the 6 line will go with the firefish, but 6 lines can get a bit nippy & in your size tank it is likely there will be some scuffling between the 6 line & the clowns eventually. Doubt he will bother the shrimp though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warick hearn Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 ive had a six line wrasse in my reef for over a year....he leaves everything alone including the two shrimp....no problems at all with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I've had 3 and am about to add my 4th. I've lost 1 to a move and 2 have jumped. Cool fish, one of my favorites. I've heard people talking about them being nippy but not witnessed it myself. Be warned, there are 4 line and 8 line that I have seen in action, they will munch shrimp and anything else, but the 6 lines, in my experance, are a great comunity fish (my tank is larger than average though, they may be different on a small tank).
