It’s not recommended however if you have enough rock it’s possible.
bummer... tank has a fair amount of rock but would not be fun going in there to catch a bully or a victim.
I think you could catch that 6 line with a good fish trap. He's going to be a bully and you'll want to add more wrasses down the road. That's how wrasse fever works.
there's thought... recommendations as to a good fish trap?
I have one of the square acrylic traps that has a heavy glass door activated by a long fishing line. If I was going to do it now I may try one of the Nyos floating bubbles. You could attach a long line to the outside magnet, sit in a chair and pull it when he goes in.
Ive always found sixlines to be evil. I wouldn't do it if it was my tank
+1 to this
She has been the most confident fish I've ever had. She was quarantined by Marine Pleasures. They did a fabulous job! She's been out front since day 1 :-) Not fazed by my tang who was very curious. Now they swim together quite a bit.
That’s a shame… Maybe next time if you try one again, I’m pretty sure that Lineatus are a finicky wrasse anyway. You did your best and that’s all you can do!
Honestly I'm pretty disappointed. Obviously the fish wasn't well acclimated to captivity. It came a little thin, which shouldn't have been an issue, but it never ate and just wasted away. And for another fairy wrasse in the same order to ship with visible flukes on it and be skinny as well. At least that one (the hooded) is eating like a pig, and already fattening up. Looking much better after a prazipro treatment.
I'll try another lineatus again at some point. Probably won't order from ReefPro again though, unless they'll provide a video of the actual fish I'm purchasing, fluke free and eating well. Not going through that again. It'll be a few months at the earliest anyways. Already spent way more than my fish and coral budget for the next few months.
