8 line flasher wrasse

They had another female tonight as well. Whats odd is that they haven't have any males on DD. Maybe they are conditioning them more than the females?
 
I received a pair from PIA this last weekend and are doing fine so far. I'll keep you updated.

Awesome, looks great Brad.

I'm really looking forward to getting mine in the DT, however, they are in hypo now...but still doing and eating great. There is no doubt that my bigger one is turning male and will be a nice male by the time they get to go into the DT.
 
Awesome additions Brad. They're beautiful. Im now sitting back waiting for PIA to get more, HINT, HINT. Im temped by the females of DD but I really want just a single male.
 
No QT. I have a pair , and the only fish to even notice them are my Earls. First time I've seen my earlei get all flared up.

Great shots as always Brad. Not sure if its your lighting or camera but yours look much more red than either of mine.
 
nice shots bradley.

my two from la/dd are doing good as well. one large female and a smaller one, hopefully the larger one changes male soon.
 
How are the wrasses doing for everyone? I just got a juvenile trio yesterday. They have been on hold for me at the LFS for 2 weeks. The largest is 1.5" MAYBE and the smaller ones are 1" or less. All eat with gusto and are very active. I have been waiting for them for 4 years, hope they do well.
 
I'm a little more fortunate I only waited since 2010. My 2 females took over a week to get used to my lighting schedule but finally they come out after the light comes on. Both eat very well from frozen to flakes and pellets.

Here's some pics from 1-24

Update

Update

Its been a month since they came in and the larger one is changing pretty fast.

This is the larger one on the second day she came in--taken on 1-14

the smaller one

My concern is that the smaller one also appears to be changing like when the larger one first started to change. I never see the larger one pick on the smaller one and both doesn't appear to hang out together much. I wonder if the smaller is changing because the larger one is not dominating and this allows her to change?

Looking good...changing faster than I would have expected!

Certainly wasn't expecting a change this fast and now I can't wait to see the transition to terminal male. It may take some time but it's something to look forward to.

here's a short video
