Got these guys about a month or so ago. The largest is around 3", smallest is probably 2.25" or so. The plan is to grow them out for a while and pick the most freckled/colored male and a female. I may end up just keeping a male solo, depending on whether or not I feel like dealing with fry on a regular basis.

This is the 2nd largest of the group, and what I believe to be the biggest possible male:

Another shot of the top fish - he doesn't like the camera pointed at the tank. My favorite guy so far.

This is the largest of the group by a decent margin, and for sure the dominant fish. My guess here is female, due to the super light coloring. I could be totally wrong depending on if coloration changes in the next few months.

Just a cell phone pic that I thought came out pretty well. One of the 2 or 3 larger fish in the group, but not the most dominant one. Pretty much every fish in this group has major freckling, so I think I'll be happy with whatever one colors up as an obvious male first.

Not sure what happened to the pic there, but I'll just re-up it here for future reference.
