I need help getting a pair of Bangai cardinal. How do I find out if it's a male or female. I don't want to spend the extra money on getting a pair already. How many should I get to try to get one or maybe 2 pairs. I only have enough room for 4 2 in my 55 gallon and 2 in my 20 gallon. My idea is to but around 4 in the 20 then once a pair forms I put the other 2 in the 55.

The Vent method is a way to sex them, but this is "easy" if you are lloking at adults. Juveniles are almost impossible to sex.

Female (only one vent)
Male (two vents)
You need to buy a group of 10 or so and you will see a pair or two form, then rehome the rest. 4 would be pushing it, you might be lucky and get a pair and extremely lucky to get two pairs.

The vent method is the way to go. The only issue is finding them fat enough at a store to use the vent method.
I purchased 3 at a local store with the plan on fattening them up at home and exchanging them if I didn't have a pair. I got lucky and ended up with 2 males and a female. 2 paired up against the 3rd who was removed. Good luck!
