just thinking to myself, i bought 4 kribs from the same tank at the same time, so will they all be the same sex?
 
might be might not. the way to tell is the female goes deep purple on their bellies when in breeding colours and the males don't. the males usually have two eyespots on their tail.
hope this helps
 
Males are pretty drabe in color and torpedo shaped. Eye spots are not good for sexing, they mean nothing. Female as smaller, have golden fins, deeper bellies that are a shade of red or purple. Males pelvic fins are blue, females are red or purple.
 
As above really :)
