good sub for sixline

[vt_snowman87]

hi guys,

what would be a good substitute for sixline wrasse for parasite control?

the reason i didn't want a sixline is becoz i once had it and it became king of the hill.. bullying every other fish..

im looking at something peaceful and does parasite control like the 6line..

any suggestions please?

Hi bro,

If you don't mind something that will be slightly larger that your sixline, You can try the Radiant Wrasse.

Hi bro,

Green Wrasse is more affordable (+- 1 red note). But do note its eventual size.

he is a hardworking fellow in my tank and need to thank Henry from Marine Life for bringing this in

[vt_snowman87]

so after some research, i guess the green wrasse and the yellow wrasse are the final 2 contenders? so green's better?

[Gouldian]

Hi bro,

For yellow wrasse there are 2 species commonly available. Check out the below links for more info:

Hi bro,

Most Halichoeres sp. do consume some form of parasites in our tank but they are not the total solution towards parasite-free tank.

The best way to avoid parasites is through careful selection, quarantine, dips and manual removals.

By the way, what parasites are your worried about, maybe we can shore our 2 cents.

oh haha actually im worried becoz few days ago i saw a parasitic isopod on my purple firefish, luckily it came off.. but i couldn't catch it so im afraid it might surface again..

[Ah-lim]

I think i committed a sin by buying another cleaner wrasse,

Luckily, its feeding on frozen mysis/brine as well.... phew...

white belly wrasse = attack those tiny tube worms, pecking on rocks.

WOW! its terrific! Usually its damn hard to get these cleaner wrasse to eat mysis. Sometimes these guys eats and later refused. After refusing for few days, they immigrate to heaven. Thats why I give up on them.

BTW you wanna sell your cleaner wrasse, LOL.

Hi Bro,

White spots appearing of fishes always = bad news. Some may be marine ich or velvet.

These cannot be eliminated by Halichoeres sp. wrasses.

What Halichoeres sp. have been known to consume are parasitic snails and crabs that may harm invertebrates.

oh no no, its not white spots.. its a huge parasitic isopod.. like a bug leeching on him.. but its dropped off already..

just wanna get something to make sure my tank's free of flatworms and fireworms before they surface..

Oic, Isopods are another menace. From my limited knowledge most wrasses and damsels consumed isopods once they left their host.

^ yupps, i think most wrasse (cheap ones will do) will consume these parasites, just wanna compare which is better according to reefer's experiences..

so i guess i'll be getting a yellow or green wrasse when there's shipment..
