C and D definitely look female to me, and I'd say A and B are males. A is a bit plump, but the shape of his finnage and head still scream male. I've been wrong before though. :)

Hi!

I would agree with C being a female and A & B being males....
I think that D is a male as well...
Any picture from the side?
Cheers

C looks like a female
D also looks like a female, but I am not positive on that
A and B look like males to me

I've placed them in the tank and it's kind hard again to take pictures of them as they're always inside their "caves", will take more pictures if I spot them coming out!

In the meantime anymore guesses?? :D

A & B look like male. C looks female.

Not sure on D, I think male though.
