3 males is a real possibility here..... body shape is making me lean this way... although slight head difference is making me think... the less dominant male(s) are hiding their hairy bits... lol...
rear fanners are all similar lengths per body size....
do they cave much??? head in or head facing out? and do they fight much - did they ever fight at all???

Big ones a male and two small females. Look at the eye spacing and head shape. Put a small bamboo log in middle finger size and see if they fight for it.
Biggest male
middle female 95% sure
smallest probably female 80% :dk:
I have spawned them at 7cm in a two foot tank in a small pieces of weighed down bamboo (a rock) the male was 7cm the female was 5 to 6cm. I got ten eggs hatched in a tumbler all fry lived.

If in a breeding set up one should be at least showing its dominance and should be breeding very soon if you have a female. 2M ?the third.
