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!).

from the body shape alone all 3 of the bigger ones look female...
how do they behave in the tank?

i dont realy have a zeb in the tank that "owns"a cave they always seem to move about every day or so 1 of the bigger zebs does use a cave sometimes and fights with other zebs when they come near his entrance to the cave and 2 of the other bigger zebs hang around dark areas near caves.
onb closer inspection a few of the bigger zebs look slighty hairy aswell

the bigger zebs must be near the 3years of age there prob a good 2 1/2 inch maybe going on 3.
thats great news if they are female just need a mature male now lol
it may take years to grow out zebs but im almost there,
