Who Gives A Fish Forums

I'm thinking of getting these two guys and I'm just wondering about their diet and any special needs they might have.

Honestly, just go with whatever the LFS is feeding them, it's not like they're picky. Those fish are basically little vacuum cleaners, they'll eat whatever you throw at 'em.

My sixline's become super picky, it won't touch flakes, brine shrimp, or even chopped mussels.

One thing I will say, an established sixline in a small tank can be a real challenge when adding new fish.

They're stunning, active fish, but honestly, I wouldn't get one again, they're just too much hassle.

Thanks, that's exactly what the guy at the LFS told me too. My two are doing alright so far, been about 8 hours now. Still early days, but they seem to be settling in fine.

For the Scooter Blenny, I'd recommend hatching Brine Shrimp alongside some frozen food options.

Agree wholeheartedly with ravelo on this one - had similar issues with my own sixline in the past. They're gorgeous, active fish, but adding new fish to the tank was a real challenge. Not exactly the kind of headache I'm looking to repeat anytime soon.
