yellow corris with 6-line?

vanmo92 · 09/17/2006, 08:23 AM

I (and my family) fell in love with a yellow corris wrasse. we were about to buy it, when I remembered that my 6-line wrasse might be mean to it. Was I right? or will it be ok to get?

i had one with a six-line... only during feeding time did i ever see any aggression. the corris was almost twice the size of the six-line. let me remind you - THEY ARE JUMPERS and they also bury themselves in the sand. I've had two six-lines and not once has either jumped or buried themselves... but the corris is another story completely!
you may want to post the same question in the FISH forums for a second opinion, though.
hope this helps

The corris at this store is smaller than the 6-line. same length, but overall the is smaller. My tank is so well covered that i dont think it could get out if it tried.

I live in a place where there are no fish stores for 80 miles. I am at my grandmas house, which had lots of fish stores arround, and am leaving in 3 hours, i need to know now if i can get this fish or not. I dont want to let this thread slip yet. if i get no replies i am going with what SoupySteve said and will get one....so if thats a bad idea let me know NOW.

oh and BTW (if this is even relevent) i have 110 lbs of figi live rock in my tank (72 gall) with 100's of hiding places.

i assume that this is going in your 72g tank? my two were togther in a 55g. space shouldn't be an issue.

so it will be ok?

Well we are leaving in 20-30 minutes. And the few replies i have gotten said it would be alright. so if its not speak now or forever hold your peace. But as of now i am planning on getting him.
