Can those of you with a trained eye give me your guesses on the sex of these? They're about 5".

Fish #1:

The reason I ask is because one of them seems to be getting picked on by another, and I'm wondering if it's just normal pecking order behavior or if we've got battle of the sexes going on. So curious what you guys think. Hopefully the pics are good enough.

They all appear to be just a bit young, but I also agree with Rod.

Well, they're all supposed to be super fineline blue snakeskins....

Thanks for the input guys!

and they all could well be too, just the one in the first pic has very fine markings, I'll be very interested to see how it turns out in another few months.

I find them interesting in that they're rather inconsistent in their markings between each fish. But I suppose that is the way with patterned fish. Here I was thinking the only "desireable" one was the one that's fully patterned throughout.

Karen,
Don't let anyone fool you, the one YOU find the most desirable IS the most desirable. However, I find the #3 fish the nicest personally, I also assume it is the one you were referring to.

Yep that's the one I was thinking was probably the most desirable. At least...seemed most "textbook" looking. I just found it amusing that a couple people commented on #1. But now that they mention, I see what they like about it as well. :)
