I have 3 Gold Saums around 3-3.5" and im wondering if I have sexed them properly. Fish #1. I'm about 95% sure this ones a male. he has a steep curve to his forehead and his tail is almost 1/2 yellow/orange.IMG_7266.JPGIMG_7261.JPGFish #2. This one im not sure but I believe its a male.IMG_7255.JPGThis pic is #1 and #2 together, I think 2 males. IMG_7279.JPG and Finally #3. Pretty sure this ones a female, her gold band is less prominent and she has a longer slope to her forehead.IMG_7263.JPGIMG_7259.JPGIMG_7256.JPG Not asking about the smaller ones in the photos they are still quite young and will remain in my growout tank for a while yet.

oops had a couple extra pics tag on at the end, but who knows they may help lol
 
any other input? it's the second one im the most confused about.
 
It's too early to know for sure. I have a female that looks exactly like #1.

Im not saying it isn't a male but not enough evidence to say either way. More close up photos may help.
 
I will try to get better pics, but they are extremely active, especially when I get close to the tank, they think they are getting fed no matter the time of day
 
well I sure hope not cuz my breeding pair plan will go out the window if that be the case.
 
Here's 3 pics of the one I think is male
