Help sexing jag.

I'm going with male cause it looks darker which is a good sign of it being a male. But the picture is also dark so don't hold me to it.
Edit... with the vid I would say you have 2 females and a male.
 
I was thinking 2 females, 1 male aswell, but the smaller ones are barely 4" so maybe they will change with age. What size do they become sexually mature so they can breed?
 
So do you guys think im good with what I have if I'm trying to breed? Or should I pick up a couple more just incase?
 
I think it's too early to tell. Wait till the darker one gets a bit bigger, he looks more like the male to me where as the others are female.

The male's coloration looks more like the name given to it where as the female will stay that way.

Based on my pair, the male's pattern changed looks more evenly spotted w/o that big spot. It's good to have some aggressive females, my male ended up killing the female.
 
Okay, so do you think it would be best to get a couple more and grow them out, then let them pair off?

ok, how can you tell?
u see the light colored one mostly stay together in the video and the big one was beating up the dark one. probably u have a pair. but it will be way easier if u put pics on of their vents.
 
Are the vents where the eggs come out and male fertilizes? Because I can clearly see a little tube like thing on the lighter ones..
