How Aggressive are Female Rhomboid Wrasses?

I know female lineatus can be super aggressive, but was curious about Rhomboids. They seem to be somewhat more mellow.

Can anyone comment on this? I currently have 1 female or submale in QT, and am debating adding 1M/1F, or 2F with the hope that I'll end up with a male eventually and 2 females.

My experience with buying 2 females for my male. They were not aggressive at all.
But both females have turned male and I now have 3 males. Still no aggression with others or their selfs.

Thanks Brad. I am considering 2 options, if option #1 doesn't work out (from tonight's Diver's Den), I will probably do 2 more female rhomboids.

David, fairy wrasse females in general are more aggressive than males. Rhomboids are the least aggressive female I have ever seen.

about as aggressive as a care bear.

female rhomboids are angels.

the males are also very peaceful. one of the best fairy wrasses in terms of aggression level.

Yes, female rhomboids are mellow.

Ok, thanks everyone. This is what I expected, but wanted to be sure. Seems they're a great candidate for a system that I plan to pack with wrasses!
