Question: Do you think the Melanurus is replacing the Six Line as the go to wrasse that everyone has. I went with a 6 line when I first set up my tank and quickly realized he like the taste of clam on the full shell, so he was quickly kicked off the Island.. ( side note: if you want to catch a fish that is being naughty, Make all his dreams come true inside of a fish trap, in this case,,, Clams!!! placed a clam in there and had him caught in 5 minutes.. I have caught several other fish this way with a 100% success rate.) now back to the story. a few years ago there was no such thing as a melanurus in a LFS, most had never even heard of them (along with me). Now it seems they are a regular selection at the LFS and Many of us now have them in out tanks. The Melanurus, to me, does a better Job than the 6 line, Is More colorful, and with the exception of beating up my snails, is more peacefull than the moody little six line.
