Wish I could help but number seven is beautiful-they all are but she stole my heart.

Just guessing as these are notoriously difficult to sex but going on pelvic width, 1-m, 2-f, 3-I should say male but its face looks female, 4-f, 5-m, 6-m, 7-f, 8-m.

so difficult, to me i would think 2,5 and 6 are males going by the fins, but they may need to grow a little more first.

i see lots of males and only 2 possible girls....

but sometimes a female can appear she-male... meaning shes a tom boy!!!

some of them very slender and lean... perhaps up their food a bit to help the females fill out round the mid section... making them easier to pick out!

Agreed and good luck:clap:

I never noticed at first there was two different species of fish in the photos until it was pointed out to me.
