No idea but congrats on acquiring those beauties
Maybe give planetcatfish a shot? I've found quite a bit of useful information over there.

Can you tell us which photo is which? I’m not sure how many 46 your photos represents.
This is a good reference:
But at the end of the day, your guys are still young

There are 11 - the last is a repeat of the last one in the bag - I let the 2 on the glass of the tank before I got top photos. Females are supposed to be wider , have more crescent shaped pelvic fins, less odontodes, more of a pinched off head (less blunt). While I know all this, putting it iron practice is less obvious with these 2 inchers.
After looking at them I can’t make a call either way. At that size it is difficult for sure. I’ve bred L046 for years and I’ve been fooled plenty of times by both males and females. I’ve had some hairy girls and some boys I was sure were girls.I find it easiest to sex straight down from top. Good luck with the group. Looking good!
Thanks - at what size did you start finding sexing reliable - these are all about 2 inches - thx
