We also do not sex livestock for any client, we will send a mix if available (this is to make it fair for everybody). This is company policy.

Note: A group of at least 8-10 Buenos Aires Tetra or Hyphessobrycon anisitsi should be considered the minimum requirement since this increases the likelihood that the fish will be distracted by each other rather than their tankmates but will result in a more effective, natural-looking display. Males will also show better colouration in the presence of conspecific rivals.
