2: female
3: female (snubnose)

i think it would be hard for you to know which one is which since your pictures are not in any particular order.

and i dont see any snubnose in the pictures listed above.

I would say 1 is a male, but hard to tell the other 2 (2 and 3). I see the number is the pic, though I could see it being missed, I was looking for it.

As far as snubnose, wouldn't call it that without a better pics.

Would prefer side shots. I think for me, the profile shot is one of the better ways to sex, males tend to have a longer nose, from tip to eyes, probably to help when they have a defend their territory with another male. You can also see the bristles or odontodes better, longer on males easier to see from side. Sorry, not much help from me

Sorry for not being very clear on the numbers, i dont have really good pics with side view.

Maybe this pic will help, the fish above is number 3, and below number 2.

My guess is number 2 is female, 3 is male. Bigger/wider looking head on male.

1. Male
2. Female
3. Possible female. It does appear to look like a potential snubnose as mentioned but without a side shot it's hard to be sure.

Sorry for not sending in the sideshot, ill keep trying to get it. Dont want to get the fish out of the tank for photo again.
