Six Line not eating
« on: February 29, 2016, 13:10:36 »
So I got a six line from the recent order from Lazy, after three days this guy is not eating either the pellets or LRS Reef Frenzy. I am not sure what he is eating, but I have also noticed that the hammer frogspawn has been decimated. I don't want to try to return this guy since I have had the worst luck trying to get six lines out of a tank with my rocks. Any suggestions?

BTW, the pellet food is New Life Spectrum Therea+A with garlic.

It might take a few days/weeks for it to start eating prepared food. As long as you have a good Pod colony in your system you should be good.

You could try live brine shrimp.

Not for nutritional value. Just to see if he will go after live food.

What size is it?   Can you see him picking at the rocks?  Never seen a wrasse eat coral, so your hammer and frogspawn are a different problem.

Sorry for not replying sooner, things have been a little crazy lately.

So six line started eating on day 3, but did end up losing two frogspawns.

Currently he's kinda become the bully of the tank I think

I always start new fish on pellets by soaking them in bloodworms. So far so good...
