Thinking of a six-lined wrasse

[Lizardgi]

As the title states, I'm thinking of added one to my 125 reef. Reef currently houses a clown and a mimic tang, along with the basic cleanup crew. I'd like the wrasse for two reasons, first, I think they're quite neat fish and it'll add great variety. Second, there is a small chance he'll help me clean up flatworms. (I fully understand he might not want to)

I do have the top of the tank screened to prevent jumping. Is there any reason why I shouldn't get one?

Not that I can think of! I'm going to get my first pair of wrasses very soon here.
Good luck with yours!

Great choice of fish. Go for it!

they are cool little fish....lots of personality

Thanks! I've got two local fish stores that stock them. Option 1 - $20 - I'd rate the store a 7/10. Option 2 - $35 - I'd rate the store a 10/10. Option 2 I feel is quite a bit for a little fishy, but the store owner won't even put a label/price on the fish until he's had them for a while and they're eating very, very well.

I love my six line!

It's up to you. I'm willing to drive farther/pay more for livestock from a store I really, really trust.

Mine dances! He twirls from side to side. You should get one!

Great fish! I love my wrasse. I would look at the 4 line wrasse, IMO they're cooler looking plus not many people have them.

You could have one too, if youd just get rid of those killer triggers. :shock:
