My Six-Line

[Mitchell0605]

Hey guys,
I'm sure you all knew my Sixline (having frequently advocating them here). Sadly his time came (I think) having not seen him for 4 days now. I've never not seen him this long before so sadly, I believe his time came (and my amazing Bristleworm CUC took care of..... things). He will be missed, and remembered (only through memory too, never got a good photo, fast little guy).

Now on another note, I was looking into a new fish soon anyway. So now I have a bit of space. I need a tough fish, and one that can stand up to a bully (my clown gets antsy sometimes, the Sixline always kept him in line), and it's gotta be pretty! lol So yeah any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks guys.

Flasher wassle

 

[Mitchell0605]

Wassle? lol. I was considering one but LiveAquaria says 50G plus and I only have 24G's to play with.

 

[harmy4993]

Lol what are they called? I have no idea. Im a newbie

 

[Mitchell0605]

Wrasses.

Heck, since it's the last fish in there, why not a colorful damsel?

 

[Mitchell0605]

Maybe. Any good ones Ray?

 

[ryshark]

The damsel is a good idea considering you particular situation.

I was also looking at another Sixline but I'm also thinking about a Bangai Cardinal. Last time I put a less aggressive fish in there were no problems once the Clown worked out there was no threat. (I had a firefish once upon a time)

Bangaiis are really nice, Get a pair of them? Breed them!

 

[Mitchell0605]

Haha no thanks on the breeding.

I never kept one, but I've always liked the look of the yellowtail. Here's LiveAquaria's line-up.

Azure damselfish looks awesome!!

 

[austinsdad]

I agree. And it's labelled "Semi-aggressive" instead of "Aggressive". I'd lean towards the "semi".

How about a strawberry basslet. VERY pretty little fish with a bad attitude. Hahah!
He was the last fish added to my 20g. Small fish that loves to swim out in front. (Until the big clown sees him!)

They remind me of angry lizards. Will hold its own with other aggressive fish without problem.

I was also looking at the Flame Hawkfish. They regularly have them at my LFS so there wouldn't be any problems getting one. But they tear apart shrimps right?

 

[austinsdad]

Yep. That's what I remember reading.

Got the best fish for you to get, I got one today.

Purple Dottyback (Strawberry Dottyback), Looks so similar to a Orchid Dottyback.

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Purple Dottyback

They can stand there ground too!

SNAP! I got given a bi-colour dottyback yesterday!!
They dont take any stick from the other tank mates.

I would reccomend a Paddlefin Wrasse. Got along fine with my tomato clown, and you wouldn't believe how much evil can be packed into a Tomato clownfish kept solitary for 6 years.
