my zebs

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!).

What size & age are the fish, if you could let us know :?:
If they around 60 mm, I would say you have a few females.

Sorry I saw the sizes you had originally posted :roll: , the fish are all still fairly young & need good conditioning to tell for sure as at that age it is still very hard to sex as the fish are still maturing.
Looking how pinched the fish look I think they all have female characteristics, but that could change however when the fish matures.
Any chance of getting a mature male & let him be the judge :)
Post some pics in six months & we will have another look, all very nice fish whatever. :aok:

Thanks a lot for responses! I will take pictures in 5-6 months. I still have 40 pieces young (12 months).
Forgive for my bad English
