4 Zebras for identification...

We all know how difficult it is to identify the sex of these fish, so please post a picture in here and we'll try to help you (or at least give an educated guess!).

They are all in good health. One of reason that they look red is due to my camera. another is because they get stress when I pulled them out of tank to take pictures. They are all over 7-8cm and I think their color no longer look vivid and fresh when they get to that size. I'm not sure how old they are though. any other opions?

Today, I took those 4 fish out of tank again and tried to identify their sex. I put them in a plastic bag and looked them under, and I clearly saw that first two and second two are different. By now, I have had them for 3 weeks, and I'm keeping them in a 50gal tank. there are 5 caves in the tank. first two both have chosen the caves in the corner against each other and are guarding their caves all the time. two females are either hiding under the wood or under the rock. I guess the third one is a hairy female, and pretty old. Those are the 4 fish I got from Imer who is German selling zebras at Aquabid.com.
