Hard to tell but from what i can see their shape is more female perhaps

They're a bit blurry. It seems like you're a bit too close when taking the picture, try edging back a bit.

Try and get some clearer shots and some of the side view too as this also helps to sex them.

If you've not already done so ZEBRAHUNTER read through McEves article in, funnily anough, Articles as I think that will help you greatly when sexing them for yourself.

Picture one and five looks very female to me, but like the others have said, sharper pictures will help a lot

I'd guess 2 is also female, but as everyone has said, wow, those pictures don't help. What type of camera are you using? If it has a macro setting, use that, if it doesn't, get a foot or so farther from the fish, hold the button in halfway and watch the picture on your LED til it's more clear. Then use any processing program that came with the camera to crop out just the fish portion, so we don't have those huge pictures to load. It takes a bit more work, but you'll get a product that we can actually help you from, also

My goodness, I'm really not with it today, I did mean to say picture two, not one! Thanks for correcting me Barbie. nr two four and five

did you edit your post ZEBRAHUNTER? There used to be some links before the pictures?

I'm a bit confuzzled today I think

I editted it so that the links showed as pictures, rather than something you had to click on, so you could compare them.

My money is also on 2 & 5 being female... although... you know what I'm going to say!!
