What size is the fish?

Note that breeding these fish is far from simple - they are actually pretty hard to keep alive in an aquarium. If they are mature specimens, it's fairly obvious which ones are male and female.

This photo shows an 8" fish that I'd be happy to call male (displayed at Southern Catfish Rescue Show):
