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!).

hi
the size would be very important to know.
I would say: left female, right male

At 5-6cm they're still only half the size they will be as adults. They're probably about a year old? Teenagers..... they're all arms and legs at that age
I'd put a cave in the tank and see who claims it. That would be the male. At that age it's very hard to give an accurate guess, at least for me!

They both have similar features. Softly-rounded heads and small pelvic fins indicate two females. But now to think of it, the right one might be a girly-male.
