One of them is for sure a male, the other 3, not too sure.. I tried to pick out the one with a more rounded head of the 9 that he has. On the other 3, I didn't notice any odontodes/hair or not much at all. Anyway, I'll find out I guess as times goes by. :wink:

Can someone please put their input (males or females) on the pictures I posted above, and point out which one is which? The person I got them from is willing to exchange which ever I want. I picked them out myself thinking that atleast 2 are females. Thanks.

Sorry, you have to take more clear pictures from different angles.
If i have to make a guess from those pics they all look male to me.
What sizes are those zebs?
