Thats what i have are they A sexual or a boy is a girl and a girl is also a boy?

 

[btkrausen]

I think wrasses are born female, and then they turn into a male. Thats what I've read on here in the past. I'd assume that if you got a juvenile, it would be female. However, the one I bought tonight was only 1.5" long, but it was a male according to LA

 

[m and m]

Oh they are newer to the tank so im sure they are still agjusting to eachother, but yes i did get them younger.

 

[btkrausen]

One will probably turn male then if they are both female. Brad could probably help out more, haven't seen him posting tonight though.

 

[m and m]

Yea brad was the one who got me hooked on them he posted a few picks, he has one thats a little bit mroe rare that i REALLY want.

 

[btkrausen]

Oh yeah, I think I know exactly which one you are talking about Starts with an A. haha. He's got some great pics of it flashing.

 

[m and m]

Yea that was it, or it like a alth somthing. It was amazing looking, I want one but apparently it pretty rare for a fish.

 

[btkrausen]

Yup, it was gorgeous for sure. I'm all about some rare fish that other people don't have, haha. Thats why I'm pushing to get some of those Wyoming White clowns.

 

[m and m]

Once i get everething a little morte grown out im going to pick up a pair of joculators my baby's. I just dont want many frags when they come just in case they nip. Then ill start moving things to the FT.

 

[btkrausen]

Nice. Where in Jersey are you from? I was just in Princeton less than a month ago, and looks like I'll be going back within the next month probably.

 

[m and m]

Im in deptford roughly a hour away from the unavercity.

 

[btkrausen]

Cool, our office looks over campus, so it was fun to visit and check out the university at the same time. I was up there when they got about 8 inches of snow on a Tuesday night I think.

 

[m and m]

Yea it was crazy down here to, everything was closed. I enjoyed it though it was a free day and it was gone in a day or two.

 

[btkrausen]

Yup, I flew back out Friday without any delays, was nice. :) I have to order some servers and storage, and I'll be back up to install in Feb or March.

 

[m and m]

There is a few places up there that great to visit Let me know if you want some names.

 

[btkrausen]

Yeah, I'll def hit you up before I head back up there. I'll be in Dallas in two weeks, so I still want to see if I can get to a few places down there.

 

[m and m]

there is a guy up here that has SPS out the wazoo but he is pretty standered with his prices he is a online vender, then there is another place thats a real store and they get MANY gems... the store owner only hand picks all his pieces and the prices are not that bad... I can name 3-4 high end chalices that origionated from him and are now sold for 300+ a eye and bought from him 400-500 for the colony.... real good guys.
