looks like more girls than boys... males get hairy-er pectorial fins than the girls and generally have wider bigger head along with classic v-shape body when compared to U-shape body of a female...

may be a bit young yet, hard to tell , no really hairy males, and some very plump ones, be careful of bloat, give them peas with skin off.

Thanks for replying. Whats the best food to feed them? I am currently feeding them kens worm stick. They're very picky eaters, they won't eat anything else. Any advice would be greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance

Does look close to most all girls. There is one there might need a bit more time. Could be a developing male.
