Default Six-Line Wrasse

Well, it's official. I never actually saw but a little bit of curiosity towards the shrimp, but I do believe the six-line has developed a taste for shrimp. Amazing that it had been in for a year and lived peacefully with my skunk cleaner. Initially I wrote the death off to old age because of it's size. Now with the death of the two shrimp that I put in not two-three weeks ago I gotta wonder. Ok, forget wondering he is guilty until proven innocent. Screw democracy in my tank, I have a dictatorship and ethe six line has got to go after his new found taste.

I was reading up on four line wrasses (Psudeocheilinus tetrataenia). Thinking about replacing the six with the four. I still want to have a skunk or fire shrimp in the tank but don't want there to be an imaginary cup of cocktail sauce next to it. The four line sounds a bit more mellow than the six line. Anyone have any first hand experience?
