Good to know, maybe I'll pick one up and save up for a male later.

They got one male in their last nigh shipment, he was 185$

I have seen female flames for $60-70 in town here. I have also seen them for $100-$150. So it certainly is possible to find a female flame for that price. I think it depends on the stores's cost (from the supplier).

I'm staring at their in-store price list right now: $53.45 (f) or 123.95 (m). $184.95 for a pair. They have a Tonga pair in stock.

Yes the pair they have at JL right now is $185 for the pair , but they are Tonga Flame wrasse.

not to kill the buzz about this wicked fish.............but has anyone had one long-term? I have owned many and have imported them..........as they come from deep cooler waters I have never had luck with them. When I say long-term I am meaning more than one year. I won't be buying them anymore despite their beauty.

I've had a female flame for a couple of years till it jumped.

What about buying 2 females and waiting till one changes to male? anyone experience this?

I know 2 people that have had them long term. One had it for 3 years the other for 2. They both jumped because of uncovered tanks.

You can also just buy one female and it will eventually change into a male.
