As title states please look at the 5 pics below. I was sold them as 3f 2m from a typically trustworthy source... I would just like confirmation and also to know which is which...

Large #1

Large #2

Small #1 (i believe female)

Small #2 (also believed to be female)

Large #3

Tbh im just judging off of color i think the first and last are males.... Could be wrong

I keep going back and forth whether #2, or #5 is a female... #2 has the taller 2nd spike on dorsal fin and a larger forehead, but not as much color.

From what I've read, the biggest sign to a female is her pink belly. It looks to me like your initial decision is correct. Beautiful fish! Can't wait to ge mine!

But I was assured that I had 3f... and only two are showing pink bellies. I saw that the pink bellies are like with kribs where they only show up when they are ready to breed

looks like black stripes on the pelvic fins are also a good indicator. 2,3,4 all have them

What Geno said, I couldn't remember if it was the M or the F that had the black stripe. On my cell phone out and about so I wasn't able to get to my fish folder on my laptop... Yes I have a fish folder lol.
