Six Line Wrasse VS Cleaner Wrasse

[John Deroe Kenedy]

Need a little bit of help here.. I bough a Six Line Wrasse 2 Weeks Ago, its very well and very active.

1 Week ago, I bought a Blue Streak Cleaner, Juvenile, as to help to control ich on my blue tang (1 Skunk Shrimp not Helping). But things turn out the way i didn't want to. As soon as i add my cleaner wrasse, my six line started darting on my cleaner wrasse. Cleaner wrasse got scared and hide.

The next day, found that my cleaner wrasse is missing from my tank, remove LR to find the cleaner but MIA. So it should jumped out right? But no where to be found. Already 5 days now and i do not know where my cleaner wrasse had gone. There goes my 6 bucks.

My Six Line and Leopard Wrasse (Slightly Bigger than my Six Line) seems to go well. So I wonder if theres a possibility to add a cleaner wrasse to my reef. Maybe Buy A Bigger Cleaner Wrasse? Buy 2 Cleaner Wrasse Instead of 1?

Help me out guys.. Need to control the ich on my blue tang before too late and infects the other LS. Blue tang already started grinding itself on LR and having lots of damage skin tissue. Skunk Shrimp not helping.

Dont give up hope yet, I have warrase that I tot vanish for nearly a month then appears. Blue Tang is magnet for Ich. I got one that was a baby and now 6 inch long, sometime it will still get some ich. Try water and filter change to contain the problem. Cleaner warrase wont work and they just die because of their diet.

Six lines are one of the more aggressive species.

Yeah... cleaner wrasse better stay in the ocean...

[marine_boy38]

Agree. They are beautiful in the tank but better off staying in the ocean.
