I've had these a while and I'm hoping 3 of them are now large enough to sex?

Plec 4, a bit too small to sex I think

Absolutely stunning fish, plec one appears to be female but none are showing any odontodes on the rear which would indicate male's among pekoltia spp.
What size are they? they look the correct size just not sexually active/mature yet.

I am hopeless at sexing, but my thoughts are the first two being female.
none are hairy enough for adult breeding male so may need to wait a little longer.

The largest is 8m TL, 2 are 7cm TL and the smallest is approx 5cm TL, they have come on great since I got them so hopefully they will start maturing soon.
