oh dear, I am not very good at this!
the fist fish might be female as has quite a wide girth and pointed nose, but pec fins look quite thick but hard to tell on pic if the body is very hairy or not...

zebs look a bit young to me.
hopefully someone else will give you a better idea. looks like you got yourself some nice new fish though!!

I've had the L260 for nearly a year now, just not been too fused about sexing it because they're hard to get around here.

The L46 I've had about 2 months. They're about 2" long.

as irene said the 260 looks female going on the shape but i think the zebs are a bit on the small side for sexing

I always thought she was female but had to do some change around stuff today so thought I'd grab her out for a picture.

I thought the Zebs might be a bit small but thought it was worth a shot. Cheers :)

Female 260 by the looks, as for your zebs you will be best waiting untill they hit the 65-7cm mark before sexing them:yes:
