Leopard wrasse change sex?

[Bret61081]

I was wondering if Anyone has ever had their leopard wrasse change from a female to male in an aquarium? I've had a large female for about 3 years now. I recently upgraded to a larger tank and added a smaller female. At first, the larger wanted nothing to do with the smaller but now they are always swimming together. The larger one's belly started turning more yellow and colors got brighter but that's been about all. Was just curious if anyone had one change in captivity.

I bought a pair of leopard wrasse, both females, with one a little larger than the other. In a few months, the larger one transitioned to a male, while the other stayed the same.

Yes, with meleagris .... took a while though. Male meleagris is my favorite of all the males too.
