Seems like mine have reabsorbed their eggs. Only one still looks fat.

Mine might have gotten a little smaller but still looks a little fat. I took the picture this morning. This is a good way for me to compare with previous pic.

Also the more I look at my current stock, the more I think I have two females and one make in the group.

I have the original remaining female and male.

I think the 5 newer ones are likely 4 males and one female. I've mentioned before that one is clearly growing faster than the others. The three others are all about the same size. The final one is one I adopted that supposedly was 4-5 years old already so he's clearly a male if that's true bc he's same size as the three I think are males (I've had them about 19 months).

Can you just sex them based on their tendency to chest bump? I have three that are a bit smaller than the two largest and they gray out and do their cute little 'I'm the boss' dance for 5 minutes or so. I'd say probably once every two weeks. I just assumed those were males for sure. There are 2 others in there, but they were added after the fact and haven't fully settled in yet. Of course, once they get real big, I guess they would be long past doing that...
