six line

[victor626nj]

I realy like the six line but i only have a 12 gal i was wondering if it can be done i am going to keep a percula and i waas thinking about a yellow watchman goby but i rather have the six line i think they are beautiful fish and very interesting

 

[fishybusiness]

and you could have picked up the percula and the sixline yesterday ;p

 

[victor626nj]

yeah i know steven but i think if i do get it i will put the six line first cause the perc is to bossy and wont anyone in once he is in

 

[xyzpdq0121]

I would not go all three but the 6 line and one perc should go well together. You are going to be pretty high on the bioload IMHO but still could work.

I have a 12 nano with a percula, pajama cardinal and a yellow watchman and all get along well and no problems. I do have a protein skimmer to help out. Before I set up my 90 I also had about 10 small corals (mostly frags) in there also and really never lost anything. I was pushing the envelope though.

None sense lol. I had a ten gallon with Blue fin Damsel, Domino Damsel, Yellow Tail Damsel, Blue Devil Damsel. Of course I would not recommend this. I did water changes about every 3 days. I would only get the two of them if I were you though.

ok here is a better ? which one would benifit the tank more the wrasse or the goby?cause the perc has to stay my wife want memo and she is pregnant so she getts whaat she wants ........olus in the future i plan in having this tank for more like a prop tank or quarantine tank

 

[vettesarebest]

I say get the wrasse.

 

[victor626nj]

any more opinions?

I have two false percs, a six line, and a yellow watchman in a 20 gallon and they get along fine. I would put the six line in last. they have a lot of fight in them. don't let the small size fool you. I think 1 perc and a six line would be max out a 12 gallon as far as bioload. Are you going to run a fuge, sump, and/or skimmer? I would definitely run at least a skimmer.
just my $.02

 

[victor626nj]

yeah maybe when i up grade the lights on the aquapod but i at leaste use purigen

 

[jhutto]

Personally I really like the yellow watchman. They have personality and are fun the watch. They are a little shy but there will be no issues with the nemo.

I say go for the 6 line. They're great fish and eat pests like flatworms too! :up:

[victor626nj]

so i guess what everyone is saying is that i can keep one of these little guys in a 12 and keep him happy .......also if i do get him what can i feed him cause i dont know to much about him but i like the way they look and i like that they eat flatworms

 

[vettesarebest]

They will eat anything that the Nemo will.

Don't know about the small tank but from a fish perspective, a perc can hold its own, a wrasse can hold its own and a goby can hide (usually). You probably run the risk that you might not see the goby, but I see no reason they can't coexist. Course my clown bites the hair off my hand when I put it in the tank... doesn't seem to bother the six at all.

I feed mine mysis, brine, pods, and various dry stuff like aquadyne. He eats anything it seems.

Mine actually eats flake food, but only Ocean Nutrition Prime Reef. Crazy thing is my Diamond Goby which is a sandsifter eats it and my sixline as well. The goby likes to sift it through his gills... very odd. Don't know what they put in the stuff, but everything in my tank eats it, shrimp, tangs, gramma, goby, wrasse and even the emeralds try and grab a piece. Great stuff and Sam carries it at aquabuys.
