Euphoric Eulogy Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm really interested in getting one but I've heard that they can be aggressive with other fish. In y'all opinion are they good beginner fish? Will they try to eat my corals? All input will be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I've never had an issue with them. No, they wont eat corals. They will hunt pods, which will be around corals, and can give the impression of nipping at corals. They only thing I would caution is to make him the last addition to your tank. Wrasses in general can be grumpy once established. But, again, I never had any with the ones I've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juiceman Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Mine chases other wrasses, but is a model cetizen and my oldest fish otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeperKeeper Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yes I think a 6 line is a good beginner fish as long as, like others noted, you avoid adding similar size or smaller fish after its established. I haven't had one in a while, but I did have them when I was beginning, and I don't remember mine being particularly aggressive, especially not towards larger fish. They are actually helpful to your corals because they eat pests. That's why you often see them in the SPS tanks at be LFS's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
