Do you own hawaiian flame wrasses
- Thread starter therapy
- Start date
i just got a pair a few weeks ago and so far they've been doing great, starting eating the day after i got them. they're absolutely gorgeous, i just wish they weren't so shy and would swim around more. i don't really get to see them much 
. hopefully they'll get more comfortable with more time.

Hey Marde,
Hope all is well, I want to stop by and check out your tank sometime.
I'm also in the market for some flame wrasses. I always wanted a harem but I'm really picky with my selection. I have a rimless tank and recently got a cover/lid so I'm looking for a harem. I went to OCaquatic last week but didn't pull the trigger yet. I'm looking for a supermale and 2 females. I wanted an establish male that won't change sex. So I'll tag a long on this thread to get more info.

a male flame wrasse will not revert to female, I have had bad luck with terminal male fairy wrasse lately, lost a lineatus, flame, and rhomboid. but all the females are doing just fine out in the open all day. i'm thinking of just getting females and letting them transition in my tank.. I won't ever have a full blown supermale this way, but the females do much better in captivity than males from what I've experienced
Yeah the Hawaiian flame wrasses are quickly becoming one of my favorite fish. Here are 2 videos I shot of the guys I picked up at OC Aquatics. Notice how the male is really starting to color-up within only 5 weeks. I wonder how they will look in a year. I am amazed how quickly they change colors. Thanks OC Aquatics for getting these beauties!!!

I got the pair at first. The Super Males dies in 2 days, Female was come out in next day eating and no sign of stress. Then I just got 1 pair last month, one sub male and one female. Female was come out in next day, and it took 2 weeks for male to show up. I thought I got trio until last week. My old female is starting to become Sub male quickly.. I mean so quick . Her lower part get really really yellow. I think I have 2 male and 1 female now.
Have had my supermale and two females for as long as Marde, doing wonderfully, eating EVERYTHING, male is noticeably growing and out and about since day one. They NEVER hide.
Don't get the trio Paul, I'm sure you can find just as nice fish that aren't identical to mine :reddy: :laugh:
BTW Marde, the supermales get even deeper red on top and bright yellow bellies.
