I see some beautiful males !!

What size & age are the fish, if you could let us know
If they around 60 mm, I would say you have a few females.

Sorry I saw the sizes you had originally posted , the fish are all still fairly young & need good conditioning to tell for sure as at that age it is still very hard to sex as the fish are still maturing.
Looking how pinched the fish look I think they all have female characteristics, but that could change however when the fish matures.
Any chance of getting a mature male & let him be the judge
Post some pics in six months & we will have another look, all very nice fish whatever.

Thanks a lot for responses! I will take pictures in 5-6 months. I still have 40 pieces young (12 months).
Forgive for my bad English

Well if you have these & 40 young you are gauranteed to have some males & females
Nothing wrong with your English, 100% better than my Russian.
