Could you post the larger sized picture and not the thumbnail please? It might give you much better odds of getting the help you need ;).

I agree with Barbie, It is hard to tell with such small pictures, but just guessing, in the top picture the three fish on the left I would say the top and bottom fish are females and the two on the right its possible that the one on the top if also a female.
But we need to have a bigger picture to tell for sure.

I will get pictures of individual pictures of each fish during this week end. I just wanna know that i atleast have a male and a female. An experienced guess is okay for me.. i was thinking that i had 2 females
They are all in a 75 x 45 x 45. Will that be okay for them?
After sexing them i want to leave them at peace so that they can settle down and start eating properly. Or i may post pictures later.

Although the pics are 'clear' they don't show enough detail on these fish. I have this particular kind and when THAT big, it's pretty clear to tell who is who and with your pics, I can't..... Sorry....
I can tell you one thing, the females sometimes like to go in the caves first. BUT, once a male claims the cave, traps a female and spawns, he only leaves again to eat.
