Second one for sure a male. The first picture ... 65% it's a male, too.

This species can be very hard to sex. Time will tell...

Is the first one hongsloi?
If so I think MacZ is right. Male too.

The first photo probably shows a male, too, but not positive. It also seems to be a different form/species in the hongsloi-complex, but again I'm not sure. That is the problem with photos of fish showing different positions and lighting.

I would guess they are both males, pointed pectoral fins, high dorsal fin. Second Pic is dominant male. First Pic subordinate male.

I think you mean ventral fins.

Thank you all for your help. In the process of sourcing some females.
