4 zebras for identification.

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!).

1st one is definately a male. But about the 2nd and 4th one. They don't show any interest at caves. Is there any chance they could be a female?

They're still small so it's difficult to give a definite sex...however if in a year or so they still show no interest in the caves then I would be more hopeful that they are females. Hope that helps a little. :D
