    Just wanted to share the transformation my wrasse went through. At first i thought something was wrong when this started to happen. Then i found out they have the ability to change from female to male.

    This was my leopard wrasse a year ago.

    I have a female Macropharyngodon meleagris now and I wonder if she'll change. Kinda sweet, 2 for 1.

    What a gorgeous fish! I was just ogling over those on the internet last night. I guess it's a win-win because both sexes are beautiful. Thanks for sharing!!
