Your first fish is NOT a L260 but an L411. It is a female. Female L260 have a white belly (typical for the species).

Then I would say:
2 = female L260
3 = male L260
4 = male L260
5 = dominant male L260

Nooooooooooo, I had my doubts over that fish when I bought him/her. I too thought not very L260 ish, looks more like a 411, but then I saw its "parents" and they were L260. So have always classed it as a queen.

Don't want crossed breeding, so will remove the fish from the breeding tank and into a community, just in case.
