really hard to tell, hair on body or absense is not definative ans subordinat males may not have hair and some females grow some hair and some fish grow and shed hair so can be different in a months time!
anyway i think you have some of each going by shapes in the vertical pic.
good luck they look nice fish
 
First up good luck with your new fish!

At that size its better to sex from a under body shot.

Do think same as you but its easier from a under body shot. ( take with head point up with close up of lower area ) Number 3 possible hairy female.

The females should be close to a cm wider in tummy if ready for breeding than a males.( should be at that size )

Try to pick the most dorminate male and put the girls with him leave the rest out or you can lose a male sometimes.

A tied up cave to a log can make a good site at 90 degree angle to a power head darker tank when spawning lots of light during the dry season.

Yup going by your pics first 2 female, 3 & 4 not sure could well be female, fish 5 if I was a female L135 I would go for him, 6 male. Btw my females do have a tiny bit of hair on the tails, not long but it is there.
