in time you will... there have been some people that have accomplished this...IME male flame wrasses are the wimpiest of all flame wrasses and as you say far more delicate than the females. BUT, while you might get a female to change into a nice male, you'll never get a supermale
mine took about 4 months until one finally decided to become male... hopefully, about 6-8 months until SuperMale... Nice!!! I think you can get away with 6-8 females...

okay... here's Video # 1... please excuse the tank condition with the algae and all but the tank will be under construction this week... new sump to accommodate the CS-200 skimmer better, new scape to incorporate the pillars from gooch, etc... I'm also taking out the two McKosker's I've had since Aug of last year and giving the Hooded a 3-5 days time out to let the Attenuatus get acquainted with his new home... both of the McKosker's and the Hooded are giving the Attenuatus a hard time acclimating but he's eating every feeding time... he's only out when the PowerBrites are on... since I got the Attenuatus, I've only had one complete photoperiod day... but it's gonna change soon...

Have you ever tried your hand at any of the challenging Anampses species? I have had long-term success ( several years) with a Yellow tail Tamarin, but absolutely none with the Red tails.

not really... I hear they are harder to get to eat so I don't even mess with them... LoLz... there's so many wrasses out there to have but not enough tank space... when I'm done with my fishes, I should have around 12... mostly F&F wrasses with the Yellow Tang (just coz) & a pair of nice clowns (either SnowCassos or SnowFlakes)...

how long before you added the other species ? see you have a god size tank which helps, did ya add them when the lights were out ? ive had 1 or 20 different species and never really had issues with agression other then from a vanue pylie and tried that one a few times and a clown fairy and blue side became agressive down the road, for now will stick with my pair of flames and hope to get 2 more females

Pratt I have a yellow tail tamrin currently eating mysis and nibbling pellets it is not a costly fish but an absolutely stunning one this is my3rd attempt and it didn't eat anything except pods for months! The day I saw it eat mysis I felt like a kid a Xmas !! Great feeling when a fish eats for first time !
MikeNy has had sucess with a few types of tamrin
I bought a red tail that eat mysis at the store but died in a day won't try them again!
It shares the tank with
2 males flames started as 1 male 1 female
1 naoki fairy ( this fish is dominant always doing these crazy displays wish I could get it on video)
1 red tail flasher
1 chisel tooth ( this fish eats all other fish poop and seems to enjoy it)
I'm getting a diamond tail next week so wanna try and catch the naoki and put diamond tail in reintroduce naoki few days- week later
