Are they better at eating pests?Get a yellow coris instead of 6 line
The same but just more peaceful of a fish and better colored IMOAre they better at eating pests?
I had one in a frag tank that was bare bottom and it loved to play under the frag rack.
THE yellow coris only buried itself when it felt threatened otherwise they don't sleep in the sand but rather cuddle up in a corner or under a rock. If you feel the need you can add a Tupperware container with a bit of sand in it otherwise it's not needed.
These fish aren't wild caught so half don't know what sand is or anything other than a bare bottom with blue background an ich infested petco tanks
Had one in a biocube and it was just fine and a 34 frag tank
So would you suggest to stick with the 6-line?^This may be the only accurate statement of the post.
While they do bury when threatened, if sand is available to them and they can find it, they will ALWAYS choose to bury in the sand at night, rather than curl up along a rock.
The ocean is a scary place at night, as this is when the major predators come out to do their thing. The yellow coris wrasse, and all other Halichoeres wrasses for that matter, are instinctively hardwired to go into the sand at night. If they cannot get buried they will make do as best they can, but in no ways is that not stressful to them.
But a tupperware container will suffice.
They are all wild caught, as of this date there have only been 2 species of wrasses bred in captivity, neither of which is commercially available, so any wrasse in a hobbyist's tank is wild caught. And instinctively they are hardwired to know about sand and utilize sand.
As a juvenile these fish are fine in these sized tanks, but full grown specimens reach 6" in length and cannot be housed in this size for the entirety of their life.
This sounds pretty simple, I think I'll try it out. Should I have any snails or crabs?For critter control get a 6 line wrasse. For algae control acclimate some black Sailfin mollies to saltwater. For aptaisa just manually remove.
