Need help sexing Pelvicachromis subocellatus

[Fish Fanatic34]

They are still Juviniles and I am unsure if they are able to be sexed but here they are anyway if someone wants to give it a try.

Ventral, or pelvic fins, But like many mini Cichlids, nearly impossible to tell. From the colour you can have 2 male and one female or 3 male or 3 female.

The only one that stands out as a female by colour to me, is no 2.

Their future comportment is more likely to indicate who is who.

I had burundi's Princess and never was able to sex any of them. Until they started acting.

I would expect two females, but they are young.

Would you think maybe a male ?

Both female. You can easily tell from the shape of the pelvic fins.

All the Pelvicachromis species are easily sexed by the shape of the pelvic fins from about 1” long. Females’ are short and rounded, males’ are long and pointed. It’s why the genus PELVICachromis was created for them.

I might wish to help you out, but I don't think there's a male there.
