Sorry,

The only sunsets I ever seen sold are males.You can check the Liveaquaria's Divers Den for male and female anthias.I never seen pavirostris sold that way.It maybe one of those anthias that change to male to fast to sell females and males.Maybe another reason is females are very,very bland.You do know males will get along just the same right?

I got my females from a local guy. He doesn't get the species often. I asked him to order my group. Females are very sensitive. I found them harder to acclimate then lori's.

My three males get along just the same.No aggression amongst themselves.I've don't see any male on male aggression like other anthias.IME,sunsets and evansis in my DT are the most docile compared to the other anthias.
