Wait, you can request BZ or LA to sex fish when you order them? For example, I could request a female Green Mandarin when going through them?

With easy to sex fish (like Mandarins) they will usually sex them and send them. As the above says they usually don't guarantee it but they also usually get it right unless it is a juvenile fish. I usually call the help line to find out if they can sex it. And I include in my comments if you can't sex it I don't want it (assuming that is true). Both BZ and LA do a good job. Lots of online places will not do that.
