F/T Sixline Wrasse

[Geezuz183]

I'm looking to trade my sixline wrasse for a cleaner shrimp.
The wrasse eats everything.
I'm trading him because he ate both my cleaner shrimps a few weeks ago and I miss seeing them in my tank.
He is in my sump and needs to go asap(this evening).

How big is the fish, and how big were the shrimp he ate?

before you trade your fish - be aware that the 6 line (and 4 line) will eat any shrimp that are much smaller than themselves. You need to buy a large sized cleaner shrimp and introduce it with the lights off for it to have the chance it deserves. I have a 4 line that just ate a smallish peppermint shrimp, but my cleaner which is large is left alone.

Thank you for the advice.
I put the 6 line wrasse back into the display tank.
I felt bad leaving him in the sump.
I'm going to go ahead and buy a large cleaner shrimp and follow your directions.
Thanks Again!:splitspin

Huh. I have a 6-line and, while it will occasionally harass the shrimp in the tank, it hasn't caused any damage, not even to the relatively small sexy shrimp.

my sixline never harass my shrimps.

every sixline has thier own personalities.. some are moer agressive then others..
