6 Line Wrasse - Page 2

I have a sixline and a bicolor blenny which were introduced at the same time, and they're buddies -- at least I think so. Most of the time when the sixline passes the blenny, he bristles his dorsal fin, and sometimes he'll look like he's about to nip at the blenny, but he just gently inspects him and -- sorta like grooming -- and the blenny doesn't mind at all. I've heard that sixlines will eat parasites off of other fish. I'm hoping this is just an instinctual thing and the sixline isn't actually chowing on parasites. Both seem healthy and happy.

My six line stays in and out of the rock work
