Ok for starters do 6 lines nibble at tail fins of tank mates? After loosing my firefish twice in the back of my cube i did not think he was going to make it. Got him back in and now it looks as if the whole rear part of his tail has been removed almost in a surgical manner because it is so proportionate. Its either from a pump, 6 line, or a hermit perhaps. Im guessing the tail will just grow back right?

2nd question. Can i keep sexy shrimp in my bio14? along with the 6 line, fire fish, 3 scarlet and 1 blue legged hermits? I was going to get about 3 and keep that as far as my livestock.

Thanks- Andrew

I bet a sexy would be a tasty meal for a 6 line.

I would guess the hermits. The tail will appear jagged until there's no more tail left. My biocube experience (and murhpy's law) has taught me that if its small enough to lose inside the false back, then it probably will.

I just dont think this particular 6 line could fit the shrimp in its little mouth, but i could be wrong. what about the harlequin shrimp?
