Colony of Blue Cobalt Zebra

[Scorpio]

Hi everyone, I got a colony of Blue Zebras ( 11 ) and I'm wondering if which are male and which ones are females. Any suggestion?. Here are some pics.

Vent them, you can't visually tell 100% which is which, they are a monomorphic specie.

OK, here we go:

The little spots on the anal fins are probly male...I like that "rock ball"

Not true. Female Mbuna can have eggspots on their anal fins as well.

Both males and females can have eggspots, they look mature enough to be vented.

It's a flower pot with the base glued at the top and a hole, then I covered with gravel which I glued with aquarium silicone.

So are they Metriaclima Callainos?. With the exeption of pic1, pic2 and pic3 stripe-one. Am I right?

Yep they are.
