I would get a female if possible for a few reason.

Female most likely have higher resale price and easier to sell when intend to change.
Its easier to acquire a single male in the future for breeding.

Just my 2 cents cheers

it is a challenge to get a good single female, no one will sell unless u give them very good price.

if u are going into as a beginner, the blackie in this auction looks nice

Also depends on the size of your tank. Males stay smaller, but as stated, reselling males (unless very nice) is more difficult than females.
