Can anyone give me their opinion on keeping a juvenile lunare with a sixline thats been in the tank for close to two years? . I'm worryed about some of the other fish in my tank too, any input would be appreciated.

Anyone have a lunare? Any opinions?

they'll give smaller fish a hard time and destroy smaller inverts. I had one that was gorgeous, but a monster just the same

they will kill any other wrasse like fish, including firefish. horrible towards inverts as well.

i have observed a lunar wrasse eating black ick off of a yellow tang. i had never seen such a cleaning behavior from the lunar wrasse before. the lunar was about 4 inches long and the tang was slightly smaller.

also, sixline wrasses can be little devils themselves. keep an eye on him because they can be nasty towards new tankmates.

I took him out of my QT and put him in my display tank. I was worried about the Lunare but he is the one getting picked on unmercifully by the Ebil's Angel. There is no way I can get him out now. He is too fast for the angel and seems ok, dispite all the chasing. I guess I will wait and see how it turns out. If the Lunare survives I pitty the Ebil's when he gets big, payback is a *****.

You have to be kidding me, the word for a female dog is not allowed? I guess I need to clean up my act.
