Sexing Borelli?

Hey everyone I am looking to purchase a pair of A. Borelli for my 29 gallon tank. I was just wondering if anyone could post pictures of a male vs female and explain
what characteristics to look for when selecting them. My LFS has a pretty good amount right now and hopefully want to at least pick up a pair or trio, just want to make sure to get at least one of each!

Males will have larger, taller dorsal fins, more of a blue color, and longer fins in general. Females will usually have their lateral line stripe, and they will be either drab tan or yellow color. Yellow is perhaps the easiest way to tell a female A. borelli when they are young. They also tend to have black at the front of their dorsal and pelvic fins.
