Top bowl working clockwise. I'll give percentages because you can never be certain from over head views alone.

1st = Male - 90%
2nd = Male - 90%
3rd = Female - 70%
4th = Male - 100%
5th = Female - 90%

Second bowl

Top two Male - 95%
The two smaller fish in the middle female 90% - one alongside them to the right 75% female
Bottom one looks like a young male to me but not sure 50/50 on this one. But I'd go for young male.

Either way, you definitely have a good range of fish there.

Here are my guesses:

There were some with question mark because is not so obvious.
How I ID them is that I would picture myself trying to draw a male and female sign for the washroom. I would draw a the guy with a triangle with the widest at the shoulder. Fot the female, I would draw the curves and the widest point would be at the breast to indicate that is a women. If I apply that to the zebra pleco. It seems to be fairly accurate.
