"Why do you not want it to transition?"
I have a super male Rhomboid in my display and was thinking of trying a female with him.
It is a possibility, but this sounds like you're trying to...Has anyone ever had a female go male while in QT? Any thoughts on how to avoid this?
I'd like to add a female but this concerns me.
Maybe QT it alone?
Trying to do that, and it is not something I advise.I have a super male Rhomboid in my display and was thinking of trying a female with him.
Nope, that's exactly right.Lastly , in my experience trying to pair wrasses like Cirrhilabrus species never work long term . They will turn males someday or the rather - may be in a month may be in 5 years ... I always try and keep one specimen of a species . Ofcoarse am novice so take my advice with a grain of salt .
@evolved and @eatbreakfast will have better suggestions and please correct me if am wrong

Trying to do that, and it is not something I advise.
Females tend to transition over time regardless of males, and this leads to undue headache and often less fish.

Gorgeous!

That is the common understanding, but I do not know of anyone who has studied a harem over the course of time. I tend to think mortality rates are high, and transitions happen in high frequency.but it works in nature with harems
It hasn't worked well in large public aquariums either, so I don't believe that to be true.I think it would work with a harem set up in very large tanks but unfortunately I and most don't have 500g+ tanks.
How long did you have him
Taking a trip over there in the morning to look at the roseafascias that he got in. Good luck with the femiminus... I've been wanting to try one. Did he have more?Picked these babies up today from tsm

It's just a bit bigger then the bells and nice sounds like an awesome lfs to go and visitOh ok so the Attenutus is relatively small too then. My LFS has had a pair of Bells in a tank for over a year and it wont get much bigger. It flashes alot but up against a trio of Johnsonni, Lineatus, Brunneus, Jordanis, and Labouti.
Thank you! the pictures don't do him justice he has amazing colorsVery nice wrasses. That male bells will be a stunner
Beautiful wrasses! How's the feminus doing? I've always wanted onePicked these babies up today from tsm
It's to early to say but he seems ok. He have no more, actually he had three eating that but some one took them before I got there. This guy a shot in the dark.Taking a trip over there in the morning to look at the roseafascias that he got in. Good luck with the femiminus... I've been wanting to try one. Did he have more?
Thank you, lennardi's are doing fine so farI don't like you very much!
Beautiful fish! femininus is my dream fish! Keep us updated on the lenardi, I know they can be difficult to keep also. You are on a roll....Reef 365 featured tank and scoring those beauties in one week!
I love that fish and tsm have some in that are eating. Almost picked one too but dropping 2G was enough for one day lolAlso from TSM.... He has been in my tank for 2 months now.... He eats like a champ....
That's what they say but I think 77 is ideal for them tooMan, those are gorgeous!
Thank you
I’m seriously thinking about picking up a lennardi. My lfs have one and it’s stunner, been there for at least a month.
Get in touch with ray at tsm he have about 20 all eating and reasonable price
Now, I haven’t found anything on special in terms of care for these guys. But have read some where that they may require a cooler temperature, mid-low 70s? I keep my tank 77-80f. Can anyone confirm on this?
Tsm is awesome place and the owner and staff are very knowledgeable, clean place and they quarantine everything before it goes out.It's just a bit bigger then the bells and nice sounds like an awesome lfs to go and visit
TrueThank you! the pictures don't do him justice he has amazing colors
Hard to tell. I don't hold big hopes with this fish since I had tried it so many times. I did have one for about 4 yrs that turned into a male so I'm trying again. Im keeping fingers crossedBeautiful wrasses! How's the feminus doing? I've always wanted one
