Leopard wrasse M. meleagris question

[29reef]

I want to turn my semi male into a full male(possibly wishful thinking) and add a single or pair of females to the group.

I'm looking for anyone who has any experience with making a harem of melegris from all females. My current wrasse is about 3.5" long and is showing some signs of green in her/his face. My questions for people with pairs/harems are.

How did you create your pair/group? Was it all at once(a male and females or all females)?

How long have you had them?

Any issues with females turning into males?

Any articles or info I can read?

I have paired anthias(easy), two Cirrhilbrus spp., and a Paracheilinus mccoskeri. But never leopard wrasses. I have a reliable source of quality leopards now so I'm willing to give it a try. I'd really like some input and experiences on the subject. Thanks.

You should check the leopard wrasse primer thread. Tons of info there.

The fish primer series is mainly on keeping them alive and experience with mixing them, I have success in that area. I was hoping to get input on pairing the leopard wrasse.

the leopard wrasse primer does not have the information you requested. Unfortunately I do not have the information either.

Steve, are you still keeping leopard wrasses? Is it a single male of one species or multiple males of different species?
