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!).

Please help me with this one
Number 1= about 6,5 cm
Number 2= about 5+ cm
Number 3= about 5 cm
I know number 2 and 3 are a bit small to sex but you never know, maybe some people can see the difference.

I think 1 is a female, others are a bit small yet for me to identify. some of the more experienced keepers may be able to tell.

nr 1 looks like young male to me, nr 2 looks like a snubnose...? but both nr2 and 3 are too small for me to even attempt a gender guess

Thanks for the advice, but number one is a female it is bin proven by a great breeder here in holland yesterday. They have looked at the genetials or something.
