I have a 6-line. If he wasn't smarter than me, I would have caught him. :mad:;Eggonfaceor fish

I am. He's a cutie and hard to catch so I've given up on my wrasse dream. Once these anthias get into my system the only thing left for me to add will be a female mandarin. Then, I think I'm done.;Blackeye
Leave that little fishy alone.
Lol! Said every aquarium keeper ever!I am. He's a cutie and hard to catch so I've given up on my wrasse dream. Once these anthias get into my system the only thing left for me to add will be a female mandarin. Then, I think I'm done.
Thank you. They are the one fish I have struggled with. I do think the remaining 5 will do just fine as long as I don't do anything foolish. I got 3 of 4 Carberryi's through QT only to have them all pass within 3 weeks of going in my DT. Such a sensitive fish when it comes to QT.I can empathize on the anthias. I’ve tried 7 carberryi and I currrently have 2. Funnily enough they made it through QT only to engage in what I imagine was politics in the display. I saw two of the smaller females with wounds from the larger established male. I’ll try them again as I love the colors, but they are very tricky and pull at your heart strings.
Fingers crossed!Thank you. They are the one fish I have struggled with. I do think the remaining 5 will do just fine as long as I don't do anything foolish. I got 3 of 4 Carberryi's through QT only to have them all pass within 3 weeks of going in my DT. Such a sensitive fish when it comes to QT.
Edit: Ooops.. just realized I posted it elsewhere but not here. I lost another of the anthias this morning. So, the two that had visible issues when I received them are gone. The rest are doing great.
There is a reason I haven't given any updates Stay strong brother.Thank you. It's been a rough night. I just lost my little female Mandarin, also. But, its ok. I'll have another margarita or two, curl up next to my amazing wife, and life will be just fine again tomorrow.
I went with Blue Zoo Aquatics. They are a pretty good supplier imo.I gotta say you’re doing great compared to here. Lost the Midas blenny, four clowns, three dominos, a powder blue, two Bandai cardinals in the ich/velvet battle of 2018. Happy to report the foxface is a survivor for now. So then I lost two black ocillaris, another Midas blenny, and four blue damsels in the QT arena. It seems I need a QT for my QT. The wife is not happy about the losses. But we drudge on and now the DT is doing better. About to start up the carbon/GFO and skimmer this week. I’m dismantling the QT for a thorough cleansing. It’s going back up with the bare bottom and a PVC pipe for deco for the restock.
Where did you order your fish stock? I’ve got a good wish list for the restock.
Sorry to hear your system isn't doing well.There is a reason I haven't given any updates Stay strong brother.

It is a beautiful fish, and thankfully isn't causing me problems. I was thinking about getting some Fairy wrasses which I know he wouldn't approve of. I've decided he is just fine staying with me instead.That is a small fish with a big attitude and stick. I had one years ago in a 100 gallon and it was difficult to capture. I have to say though once I figured it out he or she was much easier than when I tried to capture a flame angel. The 6-line gets a bad rap, much like a damsel, but really is a all around great multi-purpose work horse fish in a reef tank. I may even add one in my new 210 but if so it would only be has the last fish I introduce. But the always looking, swimming, active, darting, hovering, and foraging fish - they win.
It is a beautiful fish And HE HAS decided he is just fine staying with me instead.
