Here I am sitting in front of the post editor screen scratching my head for a cool and unique post. I steal a glance at the tank…yuck! Red slime algae and I already wrote on that. I turn my head to the right and look at my dry erase board asking for divine intervention and inspiration. Nope, no note from God. Wait! What is that in the corner? Hmmm, my “original” fish wishlist from over a year ago when my tank was dry and collecting dust and it seemed as if I’d NEVER finish my stand. So I decided to take a look back and see what fish I wanted to add and how it progressed.

Hi my name is Brian and I’m an addict. I’m addicted to Pseudocheilinus hexataenia and will do whatever I can to get one to survive. Yes my obsession with the P. hexataenia, commonly referred to as the sixline wrasse, is a bit nutty but I have had the damnedest luck trying to get one of these magnificent fish to survive. I am now on my fifth and hopefully final one that I picked up in Oakland on my way home today.
