Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / January 20076 Line Wrath
6 Line Wrath No....I dont have a lithp.... I was very proud not to have lost a fish in my first five months. But my 6 line has killed the last 2 "new arrivals" within a day of introduction. These were both bottom dwelling goby types. I cant re-arrange the rocks---- I have 4 fish in my 65 gallon and want to add 1 or 2 more. This sucker has become uber-territorial. Anything I can do besides trapping it out? Leave the top off of your tank and let him jump out and hit the floor. It should take lass than a week. The only other solution to aggressive fish is either, another fish of equal or larger size or a more aggressive fish.

I've not had a lot of luck with this approach. I've had two fish that seemed to target any new arrivals; an Emperor Angle and a Powder-blue Tang. Neither would tangle with a Lionfish, but anything else was fair game. Size and temperament of the new fish didn't matter; they had to sleep sometime, and the aggressor would get them sooner or later. Trap the wrasse out. George Patterson No one ever says "It's only a game." when his team is winning. wow-- that was too easy. The 6 line swam in within 2 minutes. I even fed the tank yesterday. So, I guess that fish really was getting big for its britches. Way too confident for its own good. A LFS took it off my habds. Now maybe I can add a couple newbies. Maybe I`ll add a 6 line after Im done stocking. It was a good reef fish----just a killer to newcomers. Those green 4 lines are nice too---I dont see `em around as much. >> The only other solution to aggressive fish is either, another fish of >> equal or larger size [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > George Patterson > No one ever says "It's only a game." when his team is winning. > But my 6 > line has killed the last 2 "new arrivals" within a day of introduction. Why not trap him out and put him in a quarantine tank, then introduce your fish, give a few weeks, and then reintroduce the wrasse? The wrasse will need to reestablish territory and may tolerate the fish better. I did that will my blue fin damsil and it calmed down substantially. I like the 2 liter bottle trap. It worked for me. --Kurt |
