Hopefully this little journey in jag Development will help make us all better at telling their sexes as they grow...

Thought I'd post a few pics of my guys to hopefully get a few more opinions on sex based on behaviour. For simplicity, I'll refer to them all as 'he'...
Fish 1
This is the fish I've posted a couple of times before. The biggest and most aggressive, frequently chases and harasses the smallest. Squares off a lot with the 2nd biggest as well, but it rarely comes to blows. Very inquisitive and has no problem being photographed. Starting to see some blue in the fins.
Fish 2
2nd biggest. Quite shy and hence difficult to photograph. Goes through phases of aggression against the biggest. They square up to each other frequently and eventually, this fish will retreat and hide behind pipe work for a couple of weeks. After a while, he gets his balls back and starts squaring up to the biggest fish again. I actually came downstairs this morning to find a nasty scratch on the biggest fish's head which I assume is this fish's handy work.
Fish 3
Smallest. Very difficult to photograph as he spends nearly all of his time hiding behind pipework, due to being a harassed by the biggest. Although recently, he seems to be standing his ground and displaying back at the biggest instead of just retreating.
Thoughts?
