Do you mind also posting some clear side pictures of each fish?

Vent looks like female, but need side shots.

+1. Would have to agree with ya on that. Very nice looking gold saums tho. Very nice, bold, orange color on their fins.

thats also what my guess was just wasnt totally sure.i have a 4th one that is smaller which also has female colors but too small to vent,the male only seems interested in the one in the second pic,chases the others away

what is the best way to trigger them to want to pair/spawn? i figure theres 3 females for him to choose from,only time he really displays to them is at water changes and lights off.
