Females don't have Red fins and are small compared to the male. The female will be yellow with black stripe .

If you decide to put in any females add three but remove 2 males they are very territorial when they pair up. Also add driftwood , plants, to break line of sight.

Gotcha! What if i add more males and no female? Would that be a problem?

That would be fine no competition for breeding. You will however have territory squabbles but shouldn't be intense.
