Six Line Wrasse

[Homburger]

Anyone have any experience with the six line wrasse? are they difficult to feed? Will the readily accept flakes, pellets, or frozen foods?

Mine is easy to keep will eat anything, but eats mostly off the rocks. I have quite the pod, mysid populations.

They are usually quite easy to keep. Navarre has one in his wifes Nano, ask him what he feeds it.

Anything and everything!

Probably the largest appetite and the smallest fish!

The sixline wrasse is very easy to keep. They eat almost anything...flake, mysid, cyclopeeze, enriched brine. They WILL eat a small shrimp if you put it in your tank. They can jump, so keep a lid on. Also, these guys are really great swimmers and a wonderful addition to a tank. They really need at least a 30 G gallon with room to swim. Some pix:

Avoid same species fish if possible unless they are known mated pairs or known to school (shoal) together. Even different species fish within the same family can become aggressive towards each other. SH
