I think 3 and 4 are males, not too sure about the others.

Agree with Irene plus number 2 looks to have a bit of a male head as well.
Number one looks pretty close to being ready to lay eggs.
Watch the big male; if he's too rough on females you may have to remove him. The bigger they get the more cranky they seem to be.

Thanks
Not sure if you can sex them by their behaviour.

No.1, I see this fish hiding in caves.
No.2, hide in caves
No.3 and No.4 fish, they hide in driftwoods and not caves
No.5, never see this fish hide in caves.

Also, the seller told me these catfish are 3.5 years old.

Females won't usually sit right in a cave for long. You will notice they back out and sort of look sideways out of the cave.

Thanks Irene and Brengun.

Any guesses for No.5 and 6 fish?

based on the pic and having a quick look it looks like 3m and 3f.... but some good in focus side photos of the head will help....
