Help With Sexing My Bolivians

[B C M]

I know this gets asked a million times and most people will be sick of answering, but this is my first request so go easy, please!
I've got 3 wee rams and would love to know what sex they are.

They're not the best pictures - taken with my iPhone and the rams aren't looking there best tonight, usually they are really vibrant with orange/pink and blue around the face and gills.

No idea about the fish, but the plants in the pictures aren't aquatic

I wasn't 100% about that wee white and green one that isn't, pretty sure the others are.

Can anyone help? I've tried reading up but can't work it out.

My guess would be male male female. However if you could get some better side on pics, especially showing the vents that would help for a better ID.

Thanks, I'll try soon once its feeding time see if I can get some more!

How old are they? roughly?
It makes a difference to a lot of the ways to sex them.

I got caught out with this plant before, spider plant.

I just took it out and planted it in soil.

In that first picture it looks like there is a fat, thick breeding tube, but I may be wrong. If it is there, it might be a female. Gorgeous colors on all of them. I agree that finnage on the first two look male. Better pictures would help, especially if there are breeding tubes.

Loads of pictures now.

Judging by those pics I'd say 1 male and 2 females... but it could be 2 males 1 female. Eitherways I'd put money on you definitely having a male and a female. And so long as you have the space, the 'spare' should be fine.

How big is the tank?

Which do you reckon is the female for sure, there is a 90lt just now with a 36x18x18 coming soon.
They get on great, the one with the black eye in Pic2 of the first post is the oldest, think that ones about 8 months old and the other 2 are only about 3 months.

It's really hard to tell without seeing them in the flesh and seeing their interactions. But I am pretty sure about those two.

The male you mention seems to keep himself to himself, stays quiet and doesn't mix too much with the other 2, thats the one I've had the longest, and the oldest.

Looking at the pictures ive only seen females, but you could still have 1 male. you definatly have 2 females in there though
