I wish mine would have jumped. Would have saved me the hassle of netting him out.

I found one on top of the power strip.


I've never been sure if he was electrocuted or dried up first...

mine was a model citizen, but there were no other wrasses in the tank. it would disappear, only to be found in the HOT refugium. I found it on the floor a couple months ago, probably didn't make it into the fuge this time... sad, I had the little guy over two years, and my mom had him for some time before that.

Mine jumped after a couple months. Found him all dried up.

How long has your six line been in your tank- covered or uncovered .

i have had no probs with my sixline but then again i do have a semi-aggressive tank. mine never goes near the top of the tank just cruises in and out of the rocks.

From time to time I would hear splashes on my tank and hear the fizz when a splash hits the halide.. at first I thought it was the Tunzes creating the slosh. One day I was doing a WC and my sixline jumped from one opening to the other! I wish I had caught it on camera as it was an awesome sight. I have an acrylic tank with a 5" wide center brace and it jumped ACROSS the brace, and back into the tank He is very lucky he didn't hit the halides..

Eggcrate is a must of you're keeping sixlines.

Doing this will solve a lot of your jumper problems... especially with finicky fish that get spooked easily
