Dont know if there’s another thread on this topic. Would be good to know how to tell gender in case i feel like mine’s getting a bit lonely. Work your magic! Tell me if you need a pic from a different angle

Easiest way for me is by flaring fins pictures. It's a guesstimate most of the time, but doesn't fail at adult size.
 
I just got 6 juveniles a couple weeks ago and am really hoping to get a pair out of them. They are maybe 3.5-4” long right now and I haven’t a clue which ones are males and females. There’s 1 or 2 that I think are males but it’s so hard to tell.
