More sexing of Caca

Hi, this is my first post on this forum, and is brought on by dire necessity;)
I've got 3 apistogramma Cacatouides which I'm unable to distinguish male/females.

I've had these three for 4-5 months now, but I'm still unable to say for certain which is a female... If any of them.
I'll attach the pictures:

The first picture is a male, I'm quite certain. It's much bigger than the other two, and has all the male telltell signs as far as I'm concerned. It's also the dominant "force" in the tank.

The second picture I think might be a male.

The third picture I hope is a female, but I worry it might also be a male.

Can anyone give me some pointers?

Thanks for your reply. That's what i've suspected too. I'm still uncertain about the third one. What's strange is that there really is no fighting/quarrel over territory in the tank between these males. I guess it would change if there were females there too though :)

Pretty sure is all male. And commonly in a batch of captivity breed cacatoides will be male predominant.
