Keeping more than one 6 or 4 line wrasse ?

CuseReefer84 · 11/22/2018, 04:29 PM

Recently I was trying to sell one of my 4 line wrasses beacuse I wanted to put 2 dragon face pipefish in my lagoon 25 and I figured the wrasse would out compete the pipefish for food and also be aggressive toward them. So I had them for sale. Well know one wanted one so i put the little wrasse in my sump beacuse I already had one in my main display. Also everyone Ive asked said its not a good idea to put those type wrasses together cuz theyre very territorial to one another. After seeing that little wrasse in my sump for over a month I felt so bad for him/her And decided to try and see if maybe id get luckey and for some crazy reason have the only 4 lines that got along. Welp, i did! They are getting along so good. The littler wrasse is the one I just put in from my sump. And it dances, i guess you could say in front of my bigger wrasse seemingly trying to impress the other. Its so Awesome to see. They swim with each other twirling about. Has anyone else ever had any luck keeping 4 or 6 lines together?

Could be pairing up. Luck is typically the only way to make this happen but maybe you got lucky!

not heard of 4 and 6 line together before this but I won't be trying this combo anytime soon myself!

Its 2 four line wrasses i have together. But they seem to be almost the same as the 6 lines. Just different color.
