Any thoughts on sex ratio of L333 colony

[fishbowl]

Hi, I posted photos of these fish about a year ago, and was told to give them time, and as I was cleaning up the tank earlier, I thought I'd pull them out and get some opinions on the sex ratio.
Fish are about 2.5-3 years old, and have been raised from 3 cm (two different sources). Thank you in advance.
Fish 6- 7.5cm

Fish 6

Fish 5 - 7.5 cm

Fish 4 - 8cm

Fish 3 - 8.5 cm

Fish 2 - 8.5cm

Fish 1 - 9cm

Thanks foti, only fish 3 seems to have a hairy tail which can be seen in the photo, so I thought some of the experts on this site can help with body, fin shapes, and size.

Fish 6 might be male I think.
Fish 5 is definite male.
Fish 4 is female and ready to breed.
Fish 3 is male.
Fish 2 is male.
Fish 1 was a little blurry but I think may be female.

Wow, thanks Brenda, that's a lot of males in one group! Which male do you recommend to separate with fish 4 which you said is a female ready to breed?

Can anyone else confirm the above fish's gender? Appreciate the help.

Choose the hairiest tail in the males. Its a dominance thing. If he's a little too rough on the female, then choose another male until she's happy.

Thanks Brenda, and I hope there's at least another female, otherwise 4-5 males is catastrophic after all this time.

i think fish 4 is the only female you have there sorry. Split the males as well or they will fight rather than breed. Pick the hairiest one and try this one with the female. the other in another tank for r and r. cheers jk :thumbup:
