Six line Wrasse 4 sale or trade

[locojazz74]

Hello Guys
I'm so sad to have to do this, but my 2 inches six line wrasse is getting a little too fresh and territorial with my fire fish. He doesn't bother the chromis and the mandarin, only the fire fish and I am afraid I have to rehome him. He's beautiful, healthy and he eats like a dog and he was in my tank since august. I could trade him for an SPS frag or sell him for $10.
Any suggestions about how to catch him?

Thank You

Find out where it sleeps and catch it then.

i caught mine by putting a bag upside down and with food on top floating on top and when he went for the food i closed the bag. Just need to be patient as my dumb cleaner shrimps were always in the bag and always eatting up the food till the point they werent hungry anymore so i just waited for the fish to go in.

Whats up. I'lltake him away from ya 1nce u cantch him...

Take a soda bottle 20 oz, cut the top off, flip it over. Put food inside the bottle... Wait.. May be this trick will work with this fish...
When I had my 6 line, I had to brake my tank down to catch it.... Smart little bugger.

If drperetz doesn't end up taking him I would be happy to give him a new home (once he's caught that is!) LMK

I would have liked him except I just bought one last week. He will kill the firefish. I had the same situation a couple years ago.

I am getting the 6 line since it will be the only fish in the tank. Its a really agressive species. Will kill everything that it can get its tiny teeth on. Good for a fish only tank, or agressive reef tank. Will not coexist with peacful fish.

Some get this fish to rid them selves of unwanted parasites since in its nature this fish will eat any small inwanted pest. (except nudis).

Still pending a responce....
