Not at all 100% as I have been wrong in the past, but I believe you have female, male, male.

Are they L029 or L007?

Hi Dimitris, i agree to what Haavard had mentioned.

The thickness and length of the pectoral fins and the size of the pelvic fins shows a clear differentiation between the sexes, which looks similar to how i Identify my spinosus females.

Are you breeding them?? :D
