six line wrasse

[marc harrison]

ok i heard that a six line wrasse can not be kept with invertabrates is this true can i keep a sixline wraase with turbo snail, astraea snails, shrimp, and hermit crabs

The only inverts they pose a threat to are small copepods, amphipods, etc which they eat as part of their diet. Mine has never bothered any of my corals, snails, hermits (before i got rid of them) and shrimp.

[marc harrison]

how come you got rid of your inverts?

[Pomacanthus1]

I only got rid of my hermits. They were killing my snails and stealing their shells. They also didn't do much in the way of keeping my tank clean. Snails are much better IMO.

I've noticed my DSB is now quite void of critters what with my six line wrasse now 6 months old. Is there a solution to keeping both a healthy DSB and the Six Line Wrasse?

A refugium might be a possible solution to restoring the pod population. Other that that i don't know.

Check at night with a red lense flashlight. You might have more than you think.
