Sixline Wrasse

[-Nemo-]

So, i was at my lfs earlier today, and my mom happened to mention my bristle worm problem to one of the employees there. She said that sixlines often did a good job with getting rid of them, Well i had never heard of this so i came home, and so it says that they do. My question though: Is it like a peppermint shrimp/aiptasia thing? Where only some will eat the worms, and others just won't bother?
Anyone had any experience?

Also: Neon Pseudochromis i discovered as well seem one might do a good job.
What do you all suggest? Both are beautiful fish.

Actually sixlines rarely bother featherdusters. I'm not really aware of any fish that preys on FDs and doesn't also prey on other beneficial inverts/crustaceans

Mine doesnt touch my 2 Feathers, very active fish, hhardy and easy to keep.

... but jumpers!

I've had two - one lost to carpet surfing, the other returned to LFS ("...very unusual for the species" ) after trying the same trick!

i'm talkign about bristle worms not feather dusters. Where'd you get feather dusters from?

LMAO woops, no wait i got it from ski's post. Besides its a worm also. I beg to differ about being jumpers ive had an open top tank for over a year now and mines never jumped, fish jump when they are scared, if you have a nice quiet enviroment plus they get used to putting your hands in the tank they dont get stressed.

Maybe try a Halichoeres or Thalassoma wrasse, then return them after they eat some worms?

Ya think a Six Line would attack a Hawaiian Feather Duster?
