Quick Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Well my six-line has been acting weird recently. I recently took a McCosker's flasher wrasse out of my tank which my six-line would constantly chase and harass. After taking the other wrasse out, my six-line is doing weird things. Most of the day it swims around the aquarium right next to the glass attacking its reflection in the glass with blood red eyes... Any reason for this? Does anybody else have a fish that does this? It's quite entertaining, I just wanted to see if anyone had reasoning behind this.. Heres a pic of him checking out the shrooms.. Quote Link to comment
GioReef Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 He is fine. He is just fighting with his reflection. Mine used to do that when i had him. He is taking his anger out on himself instead of the other wrasse.LOL Quote Link to comment
Quick Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Haha, thanks for that. I was pretty sure he was good cuz he is eating well and everything.. Just loves to attack himself now haha.. Quote Link to comment
roninmagik1 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 my six line ate all 4 of my sexy shrimp!!! =( Quote Link to comment
Clownshoes Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I ended up getting a sixline after I took my clowns back because of excessive fighting. My question is how long are they shy for? Mine still hangs out in the rock work most of the time but hes coming out more it seems. Eating fine and everything so thats good. Quote Link to comment
pimp4cheddar Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I had a 6line wrasse for about a day and then I noticed some small white patches on him/her... He never gave signs of being sick and was always dogging in and out of the rocks I have in my tank...next thing you know I didn't see him for 2 days and I found him...my ####ing hermit crab was going to town on him... I got so pissed off I flushed my 6line wrasse and flushed my crab for having the balls to eat him! anyway...theres a guy selling one local for $10...and I was thinking of getting it. I just don't know how the fish will hold up with a peppermint shrimp (i was thinking of getting one of those too) Quote Link to comment
SpankythePyro Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Got a 6line yesterday... she looks to be constipated and her stomach seems a little bloated (you can see it through her skin i guess) Her mucous coat is healthy though, you can see particulates stick to it. Should I be worried? I know I should wait it out a couple days Quote Link to comment
GioReef Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Davidr... if you don't mind posting your pictures of the sixline that have been lost Thanks Quote Link to comment
davidr2340 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Davidr... if you don't mind posting your pictures of the sixline that have been lost Thanks Sure... Here is mine! Traded him for three heads of my Hammer Coral! I still have to get some inTank shots, but he's very skittish to say the least! Quote Link to comment
GioReef Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 I love the second picture. Nice expression. I'll be waiting for the in tank picture. Quote Link to comment

GioReef Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Cool... a pair. Interesting. Quote Link to comment
Rili Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 what happens if you remove the mucus bubble? Quote Link to comment
smilodon Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I want one. but I got two pederson's cleaner shrimps. Will the sixline eat the pedersons? Quote Link to comment
GioReef Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 He might eat the pedersons... if you really like them, dont add a sixline. If you want to risk it and you dont mind if they get eaten, add him. IMHO i wouldnt Quote Link to comment
smilodon Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 how about feather duster? will sixline eat feather duster? Quote Link to comment
GioReef Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 I dont think so... never heard of eating feather dusters. Mine didn't. Quote Link to comment
mongozx Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I got my six line 2 days ago for my 14g biocube. I drip-acclimated him for an hour and once he was in the tank he got on the LR like white on rice. I noticed some white gunk on its scales on both sides this afternoon. It maybe remnants of its mucus bag still attached after it woke up but I'm not too sure. It can't be ick because isn't ick white spots on the fins and tail? It's acting normal, always pecking on the rocks and its eyes rolling around like its dizzy. Well anyways here's a pic of Gonzo. Sorry for the bad iphone quality pic but you can at least see that white stuff on him. Any ideas on what it is? Quote Link to comment
GioReef Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Its probably just sand that got stuck while sleeping. Their slime coat is very thick and everything stick to it. If it is gone by tomorrow or later dont worry about it. If it gets worse, see if you can figure out if its ick Quote Link to comment
mongozx Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) Its probably just sand that got stuck while sleeping. Their slime coat is very thick and everything stick to it. If it is gone by tomorrow or later dont worry about it. If it gets worse, see if you can figure out if its ick it's not sand for sure. It looks as if it's molting or something like that. I remember seeing the six line once it woke up early this morning and I watched it for almost 2 hours. I would've remembered seeing that stuff on it but it wasn't there this morning. I came back from work a few hours later and noticed it. He seems fine though. That's a good sign. Edited August 12, 2009 by mongozx Quote Link to comment
