And its personality was full of sass.

Keeping Six Line Wrasse in an Aquarium

The Six Line Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus hexataenia) is a popular choice for reef aquariums. Here are some things to consider when keeping this fish:

Tank Size

A minimum tank size of 30 gallons is recommended for one Six Line Wrasse. If you plan on keeping multiples, a larger tank will be necessary to avoid territorial disputes.

Diet

Six Line Wrasses are carnivorous and will eat a variety of small crustaceans and worms in the wild. In captivity, they can be fed a diet of frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and small pieces of fish or shrimp.

Behavior

Six Line Wrasses are active swimmers and require plenty of swimming space in the aquarium. They can be aggressive towards other wrasses and may nip at the fins of slow-moving fish.

Coolest Stuff

• Six Line Wrasses have six vertical stripes on their bodies, hence their name.
• They are known for their bright colors, which can vary from blue and green to purple and red.
• Six Line Wrasses have been known to jump out of open aquariums, so a tight-fitting lid is recommended.
