I thought the trap was for bristleworms? lol. The Nassarius snails stole all the plankton.

I'm trying to remove some of them. I noticed 5 on a piece of live rock the other day. They're supposed to breed like rabbits. I've already got snails to sift the sand. I don't need bristleworms too. 2 of the bristleworms I noticed were 2-3 inches long.

Why are you worried about them? I have some larger ones, they eat waste and don't bother anything. Atleast not in my tank.

yeah they dont bother much (except your hand if you touch), you can always get something that eats them if you want them gone.

Like a flying Six Line!

yeah i had him for like 2 years before he did that. he was the fattest 6 line i have ever seen. i recently cut down on feeding due to algae issues and i dont think he liked that. whats kind of funny is he landed by my feeder (turkey baster) probably trying to rob some food from it.

LOL!! My Six line also decided it liked air better than water after about six months.

I had a male six line jump or maybe it was force out. I still have the female wrasse, it is a 5 years old or so.

Thats awesome! My Six Line is cool. Swims around looking for food all day, sometimes I think he is trying to get me to flinch when he wiggles at the glass.

Hmm, tempting. Would one bother anyone else in the tank:

2 Occelaris Clownfish (trying to breed them)
2 Red Firefish
2 Purple Firefish
1 Horned Blenny
Lots of Nassarius Snails & Cerith Snails

6 lines are kind of mean but should be ok with those fish. it would eat clown eggs real quick though.

Justin said he didn't like them, and I can't remember why. I'll ask him when I pick up my new light tomorrow.

My 6-line is a little shy still. He is about 1.5 ta 2 inches.

Other 6 lines I have had were not shy.

The last one I had was eaten alive by those 'Killer Cleaner Shrimp' I had. The ones that Justin couldn't catch.

Well, let me rephrase that; He wasn't up to the challenge.

My six line is one of my favorites! Just got him a month ago. He has bee shy for a while but now he's starting to come out more!
