No, this is incorrect. The reson it is so hard to tell them apart is that the females are liberated and wear pants (preferably jeans), and the males like to dress in drag. Makes it extremely difficult to tell.:headwally: :jester:

that is being much more evident with the more expensive ones ,they seem to dress as you have stated

I know this is the wrong place, but with so many wrasse experts around, I'd like to ask for suggestions on a small, peaceful, colorful, "different" wrasse if such a thing exists. 3" or less, reef safe, even temperament. I have a Tanaka's pygmy wrasse which is perfect in every way except I'd like more color. If I can find the right wrasse, the Tanaka will get a new home. Tank is a 60 cube with inverts.

sounds like a perfect time for a flasher. the takana could probly stay too. just socially acclimate them

picked up a couple of red velvets, 2 months ago...they've been doing great in QT, and are now in the acclimation box, in my DT...beautiful wrasse...maybe not 'rare', but not many people seem to have them
albino,
Very nice. I've been interested getting a few this past 9=12 months that they been popping up more often online but I haven't done much research on them yet. How aggressive are they toward each other and other wrasses? If they can get along with my pair of eightline I would get 20 or 3 of them.

Just wondering,,, How long do you leave them in the acclimation box? When you do release them, at night, in the morning, during the day, what size is the acclimation box?
#1...just cause I need a little suntan, doesn't give you the right to call me ALBINO! :eek2:
#B...I have ~30 wrasses in the tank, and the only 'aggressor' was/is a small F flame wrasse, that chased the smaller red velvet (which is twice the size of the flame), but just a small nip to tail fin. She had never bothered another fish!
The red velvets are right in the middle of the 'wrasse pack', size-wise.
they were in the acclimation box for about 48hrs, without any problems/harassment, sooo...released them just after daylights went out, and all the other wrasses were in their 'condos'.
The acclimation box is a small 'critter box' from Petco that I drilled holes in. I would guess-timate about 2-3 gal size?
Absolutely the ONLY way to add new fish!
