His gals are doing well, but I think the smallest one has turned into a submale as his colors match the big males now. I might have to pull him and sell him off so there are no battles in a smaller tank and just keep the pair.

I'm thinking you'll be fine with it as long as they all have been together for a while. I started with mostly females with my wrasses and they have worked out the pecking order. all my fishes have been all together for about 5-6 months now. I'm scared to add new fishes but I'm itching to get a few flasher wrasses to add into the mix.

when you mean smaller tank, what size? :)

LoL. yeah, that's quite small for those guys. j/k.

again, I think you'll be fine as long as the dominant one keeps the sub male in check. I remember reading Tanaka having multiple males of the same type of flasher and didn't have issues. if ever you get more flashing that way. I think as long as they have room to maneuver and hide if threatened, the trio will be fine. or if you really want to get rid of the sub male, pm me. :bigsmile:

:hammer:

yours and Sara's are studs. :)

mine is finally coming out more and getting comfortable with the new additions. he got a little intimidated by the Bartlett's but now, I'm happy that I added the anthias. the Hooded pays attention to the female anthias and flashes them every so often. I think having all these active fishes helps keep everyone in check. of course, the Yellow Tang is still the boss and next to him the Lineatus. those two do a great job keeping everyone in check. :)

She didn't make it. Mike at NYAquatics is hoping for more this week. I don't know what happened, she was really bad off when she arrived and just wouldn't pull out of it. She was a nice fish too.:sad:
