Cfm this is female bo? Btwn there is a female velvet wrasse behind together with the yellow wrasse....

no. that's a male flame wrasse. it's a beautiful specimen but not yet to the alpha terminal male standard.

male and female flame wrasses are differentiated by a few things. All fairy wrasses are sexually dichromatic and dimorphic, meaning can be differentiated by colour and size.

males have yellow on the body and the 2 obvious red stripes on the eyes.

females are just a uniform pinky-orange.

compare the below photos.

no problem :)

all fairy wrasses are born females. They live in harems in the wild, consisting of numerous females, a few transitioning males and one alpha male. The alpha male will control and guard his harem from other wrasses, and flash to display at them during courtship. when the alpha male dies, either the transitioning males will morph to take it's place, or one of the dominant females will begin morphing into a male, and then to an alpha male.

This information is very important if you wish to recreate the haremic community in your tank.

Hmm...in ur opinion, if i have alot of different species of male wrasse in one tank, will that be okay? I mean i intending to get ramboid (sorri abt e spelling), lineatus n probably a vanatu wrasse (if i can spot one).........

I referring to the haremic community that you mentioned abt....

this wrasse is quite hardy.as long as it is feeding well n not bully by other fishes, shouldnt be a prob...if possible, try get 2 females to accompany it....when this wrasse flashes, u will go mad...the colours r super bright.....i only saw mine flash once.....
