New Zebras

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!).

Try getting a picture that shows the fish from above, closeup, and another one showing the fish's profile.

I'm sure someone will be able to identify the gender if you get this kind of pictures. It's almost impossible to tell from the pictures posted....

Thanks for the help. I'll try and get better pics but I'm gonna leave it a week or so. I put them into a temporary tank last weekend when i got them, as their one hasn't quite finished cycling. I don't want to get them out again until they're being moved to the new tank which will hopefully be over the weekend. So I'll take the opportunity to grab better pics then. I may also be going to pick up three more tomorrow, so I might have 5 that need sexing by time the weekend comes :D
