Would like to see your opinion:

Is the following fish a Cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis female or a Cirrhilabrus Lineatus ?

yellow tang, LOL. It is a beautiful fish nonetheless. How big is it and when/where did you get it? What was it listed or described as to you?

It as described has a Lineatus, but this is the picture on Liveaquaria that seems more like it:

Female lineatus, most likely Australian.

Same species? Same size? Same body shape? Females are much more aggressive in general than males. If the same species, one will win out and become male.

Both wrasses , but the other female is an Jordani. Hope everything goes well.

Nice find, she's a beautiful girl and I agree on the Lineatus call. I wouldn't think that she'd fight with the Jordani, but I've never kept multiple species of fairies together, let alone females, so I can't tell you from experience.

Should be no issue. Although C. jordani females are pretty aggressive, the lineatus females are not. I have multiple species of fairies, flashers, and females.

looks like a submale, but picture is kind of fuzzy.

Initial phase male. However I do not agree, I believe it to be a female.
