Just a bit ago, something got my fairy wrasses all up in a huff. I caught my 3 rhomboids all excited and full of color. Not the greatest pics because I was shotting as fast as I could.

My Big male:

My supposed females, I'm thinking at least one of them are turning male.

Here is my pink margin after it started settling down. He was almost completely white when he was flashing.

I have the same problem, bought a pair and ended up with 2 males. Oh well, at least for the moment they are getting along fine together.

I agree, My big male could care less about my other 2. He is about twice the size of them though. Hopefully they will live together peacefully. The only problem wrasse I have right now is my conde. He is about 3 1/2 inches and thinks he is 6"

I've got a susposed Katherine's that is a bit of a bully but the others don't seem too intimidated (for the most part). Ever seen a fairy that's almost solid black with a white belly and a bit of blue on the dorsal and anal fins? Nice looking fish BTW Brad.
