To my eyes, 3 are wide around the hips and the other one isn't, so probably 3F1M. No doubt someone more experienced will correct me ;)

Hey

Thank you, thats what i tought too.
I had them up looking at them, and 1 had much longer odontodes, than the other 3.

At what size do they start breeding?
Right now i only feed them with vegi tablets, can i feed them frozen foods like bloodworms and artemia, to get them in condition?
