- Six line Wrasse -
Hi all...
I've posted this on the chat forum but haven't really gotten much of answer.
<Let's see if I can do any better...>
I'm hoping someone can help before the kids ask to go fish shopping this
weekend. I moved my 2 false Percs and yellowtail into the main tank this evening
after going fallow. My yellowtail didn't make it. I uncovered the tank to check
on them and he was being eaten by the shrimp and hermits. So sad to see that.
I'm guessing I screwed up on the dip during transfer although the clowns appear
to be fine. (Swimming normally now). Anyway, I don't plan on replacing him
unless hubby really wants me to. (Especially after having most of you tell me I
shouldn't even have him.)
Here's my question:
I know that a lot of wrasses are known to be jumpers. Is the six line one of
them? <I'm afraid so.> How much of an opening do they need to jump?
<Smaller than you would think.> Would it be compatible with the following:
2 false Percs, 1 strawberry Dottyback, 1 cleaner shrimp, 1 fire shrimp, 1
peppermint shrimp, 1 turbo snail, 3 hermits? <Sure, although it 'might' take
out your shrimp one day.>
Also, a yellow fish is very much wanted do you have any suggestions that would
work with this crew? <How about a Citron Goby?> My tank is a 29g with live
rock/DSB. No corals or anemones although I would like to have some mushrooms. I
think I have enough light for those. (2 Coralife 20 watt 20,000K bulbs) Do you
think my light is still too poor? <Not for mushrooms and polyps, but it might
be rather tight quarters for all these fish - do consider something a little
larger - perhaps a 40 gallon tank if you want this mix to persist. The extra
size will also lend some stability to the whole system too so it's a double
bonus.> If so, then mushrooms will come off the Christmas list and
have to wait for a lighting upgrade and or larger tank. <Get the larger tank
first - your fish will thank you.>
Thanks.
Carla
<Cheers, J -- >
