Male or Female?

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!).

Thanks for the info. I have several Zebras (F0’s) in the same tank and they have spawned on a few occasions, but because I keep the front and sides of the aquarium covered so not to disturb them, I have been unable to see the female with the male. Yesterday I noticed these two in the same cave so I figured if I could get verification of the sexes, I would separate them from the others. Thanks again for the help.
