SIX LINE WRASSE

The Six Line Wrasse, also known as Pseudocheilinus hexataenia, is a popular and colorful fish species commonly found in the coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific region. It has a slender body with six distinct horizontal lines running along its sides, each with a different color ranging from blue to yellow.

One of the interesting characteristics of the Six Line Wrasse is its diet, which includes various types of flatworms, making it a useful addition to a reef aquarium for controlling these pests. It is also a carnivorous species that feeds on small invertebrates and crustaceans.

However, it is important to note that the Six Line Wrasse can be territorial and aggressive towards other fish, particularly other wrasses and fish with similar body shapes. They may bully and harass their tank mates if they feel threatened or stressed. Therefore, it is recommended to provide plenty of hiding places and ample swimming space when keeping this species in a community aquarium. Overall, the Six Line Wrasse is a beautiful and active fish that can make a great addition to a well-managed reef or fish-only aquarium.
