What is the best way to prevent a female wrasse from turning into a male?

Hi guys, I plan on picking up a pair of Earlei wrasses this weekend and would like to know the best way to prevent a female from turning into a male. I have a 75g tank and these would be the only pair of wrasses in it. Would adding more wrasses turn the female into a male? If that's the case, then I won't add any more. I really want to keep them as a male/female pair and do not want the female to turn. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

I would advise keeping them as the only wrasses as others seem to distract the male from being soley focusex on the female, even then there are no guarantees.

Agree, and my thoughts exactly.

Thanks guys. I won't add any more wrasses in my tank. I definitely want the males attention solely focused on the female.

Pray for a miracle...or just give her to me, my females tend to stay that way, even when I want them to change
