Sexing some peacocks

[bmarine]

I have 4 lemon jakes (at least i think they are!) that i'm hoping to breed and i need help sexing them. I think i have at least 2 females, since they look like they are holding. But not entirely sure about any of them! check out my album labeled "Lemon Jakes" for pics, and let me know! Thanks!

I see 2 for sure maybe 3 females. The dark one is your only male for sure

So the 3rd pic is the male?

Correct!

Hmm ok, cuz thats the one that looks like its holding to me. And he/ she didnt eat this morning. So what is he holding then?

I can really only see the yellow highlights on his fins which makes me say male. A better lit picture might help

K i'll try to get a better one. It is really dark though, almost black, which kind of makes me wonder if its really a lemon jake.
