1-too young to sex
2-female
3-hard to tell, but it might be a male.
Females usually get orange on their belly and fins stay blue.
Males get larger, get a small hump, and have red and pointier fins.
Hope that helps. Nice HRPs btw.

having a female isnt the problem, you probably have 2 if not 3 females there. if one of them grows much faster and starts to show red on the fins and tail then you know thats the male. the females usually lack red on the tail and fins although some have been known to show it. they are all pretty young so I don't think they would develop the red just yet but you definately have at least one female don't worry!
