GBR genders???

[Istrom]

Hey all, I'm having some trouble putting a gender on all three of my new blue rams, I know that females have red abdomens during spawning, and all that kind of stuff but I can't put my finger on it for any of them myself. Take a look.


^Ram 1 that always hangs around ram 2


^Ram 2 that always hangs around ram 1


^Ram 3 that doesn't seem to ever be near the other rams

Please help lol, I'm so confused...

Im not an expert but #1 and 3 looks like a male #2 female

Even if you aren't an expert it's good to have someones opinion Plus that would make sense, #1 and #2 might be paired and #3 could be a male that the paired male keeps chasing off.

They are a little young to sex but #1 is defiantly a male. #2 could be a girl but could be a young male... If it has a pink belly it's a girl. #3 looks like a male but stressed out. #1 is prolly the dominant male so he won't show his full coloring. Hope this helps

Car. Boy.. op, it's tough to tell, they are young and void of identifying traits.. look for a pink belly and a iridescent spot only on females..

I would say that's a boy as his dorsal fin is also quite pointed to a spike. As well as his front fins are quite long as I believe in a female are quite shorter. But I may be wrong. I just picked up 4 GBR but mine are still young so identifying them is a bit tough.

In that picture I would say the one in the foreground(front) is a male, the one in the midground(middle) is a male and the one in the background(very back) is a female
