I would just find a very nice SuperMale or Large male... and probably another nice fairy to compliment him... if you really want a pair, make sure the female is really small so she'll stay small... good luck...

i definitely want a pair. i am working on a pairs tank . currently i have a pair of juv. onxy and a pair of mandarin fish and i have a purple firefish that its mate died 
but i am getting another one soom to put with it.
so as far as the lineatus. my lfs has one (hopefully if they still have it) and i am sure its a female (she is fairly small) so i would still need another one to put with it.
if i put two females together would one turn into a male? or is it better off just getting the smaller female they have and then locate a male?
and what is the meaning of the small female so she will stay small??? do they get really big or something? or what am i up against?

sometimes you get small males instead of females... I guess it's alright since you're not really breeding them.. LoLz... a buddy of mine picked up two juv males and one turned into a really really nice male, on it's way to a SuperMale IMHO... one of the sweetest Lineatus I've seen in person... for my future set up (120g and up), I'm looking into getting a harem of HI Flames, pair of Golden Rhomboid, pair of Lineatus, and a few other fairies...i definitely want a pair. i am working on a pairs tank

make sure your tank is built for jumpers though... all my tanks have been built to prevent jumpers from carpet surfing....
Make sure you have the Clear mesh top!!

Amanda - I have had a supermale lineatus for about 1.5 years and just added a female to the tank as well. I too am working on pairs for my new display and it happens to be pairs of wrasses mostly. If you end up with 2 females, the more dominant one will change to a male. They could also be males and one could change back to female too. I know it's all so confusing
