question for Bang Guy

I want to get a pair of bangaii for my 135 gal. LFS has 3 that look full grown to me ( but I can't be sure). How can I tell if they are male or female so I can get a pair?

If they are adults then two of them should pair up and chase the other away. Get the pair. I've not found a reliable way to tell gender until the male has held eggs. Then the jaw is obviously larger.

If you can't determine the pair ask the store owner if you can return one later if you buy all three.
If they are all hanging out together they may all be Females.
If they are wild caught make sure you see them eat before purchase.
