Boy, research really pays off. my tank is cycled and i'm looking at fish to
get. A clown fish first, and then 2 months later one more fish. It has been very hard to decide (finally figured on a dwarf hawkfish). But during my research i almost decided on a six line wrasse, that is until a read they make a mucus cocoon (Eewwwwwww!!!) every night when they sleep and then in the morning they eat it (Eewwwwwwww!!!) I mentioned this to my lfs (VERY nice store) and he said I would be surprised how many people buy these fish and then think their dead when they see the mucus cocoon (Eewwwwwwww!!!) He said some people actually dispose of the fish by mistake. I just thought this would be good info for people considering this fish. Yeah i know they are cool fish, but a mucus cocoon? (Eewwwwww!!!)
