females are normally smaller and more pale than males.

In most wrasses, its coloration I believe. Brad or Marvin could probably explain on the Rhomboids. I assume you have two of them? Lets see a pic

I would agree that with fairies, the males should be a bit brighter, some obviously much more so than others.

I'd say check out Brads pics of his, but he said all his turned into males. haha. Wouldn't be the greatest comparison. Post a pic of your pair and we could probably help identify them with you.

Drivers den has a femals and a male for sale 699 a piece i think they would look sweet together, do they really need a 125G tank that seems big.

kels · Feb 1, 2011

i had mines for quite some time now. ill post one as soon as possible guys!

What sizer tank do you keep yours in is it a big swimmer do you acualy need the 125 or do you think a 100g will do?

btkrausen · Feb 1, 2011

Haha, mine is in a 60 gal right now. I think my Lineatus needs more room than the little rhomboid.

m and m · Feb 1, 2011

This picture was a year ago when I got the 2 females. The one on the bottom was already turning male.

My big male above the other 2.

And now.
