Bangaii Cardinals

[CarrieB]

Hi folks,

I have an adult Bangaii Cardinal that I'm picking up on Friday. Someone local just posted another adult Bangaii cardinal. I think I could only keep both if they were opposite sexes, correct?

I have seen posts about sexing them. Anyone done it? How hard is it?

If I put them both in a 20g QT tank, would it be obvious whether they were going to get along?

Between the fins on the bottom of the fish there should be visible bumps. Females have one, males have two. There may be other ways to do it but that's what I've known.

In my experience you'll know if they'll get along pretty quickly.
