Male Or Female African Butterfly Fish?

[alpha_ralpha]

I'm ordering one tues and if I have the choice should I get a male or female? I've heard the don't get along together so I'm supposing not both but is that true?

both sexes look the same apart from the anal fin. One has a concave anal fin and the other has a normal shaped anal fin. Two males might fight in a small tank but they get along fine in sexed prs (1m & 1F) or on their own.

Oh, ok. I had heard they don't get along when not breeding but if they do then maybe I can get a pair.
