Hey fellow minnesotan! They arrived from HI this morning. -19 and they still made. The flame angel did not. PIA already credited my account. First order and great service and fish. The angel was stunning!

Man I really am tempted to get a female flame or two from PIA when I have a QT ready for them.

Very nice.

Do females squabble, how long will it take for one to start changing sex and how long does the transition take?

Unfortunetly they did not survive the shipping either. But kevin reshipped wrasses and the angel that died. All are doing well over a week later. The wrasse devour mysis, formula 1 and chopped scallops. They also pick at pellets and flakes. Here are some new pix.

They look good! I just picked up two female pylei fairy wrasses last night and they are doing fairly good. They won't be fed until tomorrow when the lights come on.

Very nice.

If there is a size difference there won't be much aggression, the roles are pretty set. When I had my flames, a female turned male in just under 2 months.
