Bolivian ram sexing

[fishe]

I have 5 bolivians in a planted 29 gallon I bought 3 at 1 store at 1 inch and none have any fin extensions. Went to another store and picked up to more, and both have fin extensions. Does this means I have 3 female and 2 male. I will get some picks up tonight or tommorow. The original 3 are lip locking and are pretty agro especially during feeding thanks

If they are large enough look at their breeding tubes behind the pectorals, if it's larger and rounder, it's a female but if it's shorter and pointy, it's a male.
You can also tell from their anal fin, if it's Long and rounded, no sharp edges, not squarish she's a female. But if it's anal fin is sharp and made up of angles, squarish and not elongated it's a male.
