At the minute she looks rather small (if I had to guess, around an inch). And may actually be a juvenile but she will turn eventually, you just need to wait for her to grow. I have found that wrasses begin to transition once they’re about half to three quarters of their max size.
OK, the waiting game continues. She is well over an inch, actually over 2 at this point. Great, I look forward to watching. What are the signs or what will be scene? (This is my first to transition).
Generally, you’ll begin to see some form of colour change. I have found the main body is first, then the tail changes last. You’ll most likely see a brighter colouration in the red face as the first big sign. However there are many smaller signs such as a slightly more aggressive behaviour that may die down once the wrasse is further into the transition phase.
Just got the same wrasse today. Acclimating him/her now. Very excitedearl’s
I believe that where they’re collected from is the biggest distinguishing characteristic however the fins in Finifenmaa seem to be much more yellow towards the back whereas in rubriquamis it’s clear towards the back.
