I got these fish a while ago, and let them grow out. I know that they're hard to sex when they're small, but I think that they've grown to full size and I just want to know if I have two females, two males or whatever. I'd be super thankful for whatever information you can provide. Thanks!
 
What did I say when you picked them up, females right? I'm sticking with that.:)

Haha, thanks again. I just wanted to make sure of it because they've grown up and maybe changed looks. But thanks a lot for sexing them again :thanks:

That's my best guess, they still hard to sex honestly. You haven't seen any eggs along the way have you?

No I haven't. They have been acting weird as of lately, almost along the lines of breeding behaviors. I'll be on the watch for it though:)
 
Picture #2 I'm fairly confident is a female by the black blotch in the dorsal fin, but picture #3 I'm still a little torn. Hopefully I'm wrong on #3 and you'll get some fry out of them!
 
To be honest I might just set up a tank an try to breed them. If they're both females, well there will be no babies and if it's a pair, then yay! :D. Thanks though HUKIT!
