Im thinking Female.

I know one of them is female because when all seven were together someone laid eggs!

The spotting on the chin and blue hues in the fins suggest male to me. Still a little to early to tell

Female

female... if it wher male it would have spotting throughout the fins and body...

How many of them are there?

99% sure all but the bottom 2 are female...and id guess from the bottom pic (or bottom 2 pics) that they are pretty beat up males.

I was thinking male for the bottom but even at that size my male had heavy spotting.

All seven pictures are of different fish.

All seven pictures are of different fish.

ok, then all but the bottom 2 are female and out of the bottom 2, the last is the best bet for a male. Almost 100% sure.

The other one might be, but I notice a lack of spotting in its body that the bottom one has.

Funny, I notice more and more spawns of dovii have way less males than females. This is another good example.

I also have noticed the largest growing and meanest fry is usually never a male in dovii spawn, at least from my previous spawns, spawns at my old LFS and others on here. I was told what determines that is either the pH or temp (cant remember which it was) when they are hatched...dont know if theres any truth to that...
