All 3 pictures depict the same 4 fish in the same positions.

Anyone want to take a stab?

I am terrible at sexing until they are sitting on eggs. :p I'd say

fish #2 is possible a female, 3 & 4 males and am unsure about #1 I think maybe a female.
Thanks!

2 sure looks like a female. 1 probably is as well. 3 & 4 look like males. Best guess.

How big are they?

About 4"-5" I as so tired by the time I finished acclimating, I forgot to measure them.

I think number 1 and 2 are female. I think they are a bit too small to tell for sure.

As with everyone else, I am guessing 1 & 2, but like jackson says, I think too small yet to tell for sure.

Even though they are a bit too small I think they are at the right size to start spawing.

Well, #2 is a sure female, or a very fat guy, but most unlikely a female though.
#3 and #4 is a guy for sure. Much bigger and even the colour they are both flashing a dominate colour. I bet you they fight alot too as their size is very much equal. Keep an eye on them as bad things might happen when they are too evenly match.
#1 looks like a female, but I can't be sure.

Thanks again everyone, this was my impression as well as Charlie's.
