Red Velvet Fairy Wrasse?

[redwingrob40]

Just wondering if these guys are similiar to the flame wrasses, in that will a female change to a male if the only fish in the tank? Also are the males tough shippers like the flames?

Thanks

All fairy and flasher wrasses will become male if they are the only one of their species in the tank. I have no personal experience with them though so I cannot say whether they are good with shipping.

IME, plan on buying a few, before you get 1 to survive.
