I recently picked up two female wrasse. First one was a shark fin female the second one was a flame female. However when I went to the store to pick him up the shark fin email was beginning to transform into the male version of the shark fin. She was no longer red and white she had a yellow stripe on her and her tail was blue. The flame female had a higher fin like the males have and the colors or very close to the mail plane still look like a female but you can tell it's very close to becoming a full male. Has anyone else ever gone through this process? Pictures please...
