So I have 4 I'm hoping the majority are female... I don't know if they are big enough to tell yet as I know even the female grows a slight bump...

Thanks for the input

It's a little tough to tell unless you flip them over and check. Just by looks, I would say the top two are male, the third is female and the fourth is a bit too small to tell. If you sex them by checking them, it will certainly be more definitive. Just my 2 cents
 
yeh those guesses probably arnt even correct. i have a female that looks just like the 2nd pic. you will have to vent them to be certain. its not very difficult to sex cyphos of that size with the naked eye, just takes a lil practice to understand what exactly your looking at. good skill to learn if you keep and breed fish. also i noticed a bit of mooning in the last pic. here is an article on venting.
