Buying two clowns at once--Liveaquaria?

I am finally ready to make my purchase of spotcinctus clowns.

I certainly want a pair. Liveaquaria sells them in small (3/4"- 1.5") and large size (1.5" - 1.75") --from ORA.

In thinking about the whole sexual maturity thing, how its best to get one larger than the other, etc., it makes sense to just order one of each size.

But is there a risk that I would end up with 2 females? Should I order two small and have a better chance of getting two immature males--or does this doom them to fighting?

What would you do?

Thanks in advance
 
I would order a large and a small. That way the roles are clear and fights unlikely. I don't think you will have to worry too much to get two females as clarkii need to be much larger for sexual maturity and sex change.
