Growout Bocourti. Hard to sex, but I think the first two pictures are male and the last is of females.

Wow really love the Bocourti, i have to say that they top my wish list right now but the only way to get them here is going fishing, i hope i can get one soon, are they agressive with theyr tank mates?
 
So far so good. I have five together just under 5" with some smaller Carpintis and Sajica. No real problems. The two largest ones stay on their own side of the tank. The three smaller ones, I'm assuming females, move all over.
 
Are you differentiating between sexes based off of behavior or physical characteristics (or both)? I've got three about the same size and I have no idea. All of yours look a bit more streamlined than mine which have a more round body shape (I'm not overfeeding). If I'm not lazy I'll try to snap some photos tonight.

I'm just guessing based on body shape and dominance. The two "males" are a little longer at the same height as the others and display a little more. I'm sure I'm at least another year away from any breeding. I vent them when they hit 6-7".
