Peppermints not breeding, are they a pair?

Hi I've grown these two peppermint bn from fry, and they are over 2.5 years old at 10 cm. There's no real forking of the bristles on the nose, but one has more bristles than the other. Could you please help sex them?

Sorry for the poor photos, phone camera was best I had at the time.

Looks like 2 females to me I use to have a female with bristles Luke that around the top lip.

looks like you have 2 females there, but do you have a picture of the side of the fish?

if theres bristles up the nose below the eyes to the lips, then it will be male, if not its most likely female.

You need bristles up the bridge of the nose for male.

I agree, side picture would help but prob 2 females

Yup agree 2 female

Both females, but the good news is finding a spare male is easier than trying to get someone to part with a female.
Nice fish

all good news for you indeed. Looks like females, but look at what all of the others stated. Cheers jk :thumbup:

Thanks

Thank you to all for your replies, and your expertise is greatly appreciated. My suspicion has been confirmed as there's definitely no bristles on the bridge of the nose , so I guess I'll be looking for a male shortly.
Cheers
