Any who I'm not trading for $99 value rather keep the fish just see what happens with the pair maybe they will work it out lol

No big deal just didn't want ppl thinking I was trying to get over on someone try and make $ or something was just looking to trade and add to collection
no worries - if alfie didn't tell me he wanted them, i would've bought them for myself. they are definitely beautiful fish!
They are a great deal if you can find them at $99... NY Aquatic just listed a male this week at $299...
1 of my 2 females is also now turning male, but so far my large male doesn't care...I really don't expect a problem...my ~40 wrasses all seem to get along, and female wrasses always turn male...if a female flame comes along, grab it...it will be cheaper, will turn male, and will probably live longer in your tank.

Female Flame
True Albano, I am picking up a female flame this weekend. I have had a female in my tank for over two years. I tried to keep males but for some reason not successful. Maybe the female was not happy with the male. Figures typical female instinct lol.

Is it true that a female flame won't turn into a super male ?
I had 3 flames and lost the to some strange scale issue only affected my 3 flames

Albano need to see pics of ur wrasse please
I usually tell people, that the other term for 'super male' is 'terminal male'...and IME, once a male becomes a 'super male', it IS terminal... meaning that the next 'maturing male' will likely kill the super male!
IMO always try to buy the (cheaper) juvi/female wrasse...it will eventually turn male, and if you have other wrasses it should 'color up' as a super male.
I'm in the middle of a major house remodel, and will soon be up/down grading my basement 450g DT, to a basement ~400g DT & adding a new living room ~300g DT... But I'll try to get some pics

There is no real going rate for them. They are relatively newly discovered and there is no 'standard' on them. They are often confused for other wrasses and or mislabeled. I think what ever you want for it is fine and if someone agrees they will buy it.

imo flames turn into terminal male more so then any other wrasse species i have owned and ive had probably 25 or more different fairy flasher wrasse's. and even more so in a larger tank

matt thats a hard one, out of all ive had has been my super male eightline or my supermale flame would probably have been my favorites, but i loved my full male rhomboid also. none of which were aggressive and kept with several other wrasse's at the same time

I'm pretty glad I didn't trade one because the female that changed to male is now getting the blue I never had in my male gonna see how it goes fighting hasn't been too bad
