My guesses are male,female, female. The main difference between the males and females are:
1. Males are shaped like an exclamation point (!) They are wide at the head and have a gentle taper to the tail.
2. The pelvic fins of the males are straight across the back where the females are a teardrop shape.
3. Females when gravid have the thicker waist.
4. Males of course have more growth on their pectoral fins.
Here is a photo of my pair with the features exaggerated a bit because the photo was taken just before a spawn.

Is it me, or does the first one look more L600ish based on the head patterning?
