Hi,

I think thats are 4 males.

Gee Elko may be right. Next step put each one in a little betta tank and take side on whisker pics, males are usually longer. Also from underneath try and get close up vent shots, good enough to see the shape and colour around the vents.

i tend to disagree - i was thinking more like 4 girls....

at that size one would expect more male characteristics to show through - like big boof head and big cheek odontode - and the V-shape body to be more striking....

but lets go on the vent pics if we can get em.....

Notice the total length of the fish...is just too small to tell that's why they all look like females. Males have much wider heads shape with the body taper off to the caudal peduncle.
