Fiji vs Indonesia Hoeven's Wrasse (Halichoeres melanurus) ????

Whats the primary difference, if any? Color? personality? I am ordering 2 as I assume one will transition into a male. LA states they will be fine in multiples.

I doubt adding two is a good idea. I suspect both would become male in time. @evolved and @eatbreakfast will know for sure!

The male will have more colors in hi I'm .
Female stay with more orange line

If you get 2, both will likely transition to male. Don't get 2. Males can get pretty aggressive with each other.

There isn't much difference between the 2 locations as far as color or personality. Fiji is a more responsible fishery. Indonesia has a reputation for cyanide fishing, but this isn't a species that is targeted that way.

Yeah, 2 is a bad idea I'm afraid.

Region makes little difference with this species.
