Those are good pics Gem! You can't expect perfect from every pic
In Armin's 2nd set of pics, the 1st 2 pics show the bristles the best. What appears to be bristles running up the nose, is actually the bristles from the left side of the face. There might be a single bristle on the nose, but the fish still lacks the forehead spot. If you vent the fish...again it looks like females to me. I'm not the greatest at venting, but that's another good way to sex them. It's hard to disagree with Barbie, as I really respect her opinion. She's helped me a lot (as well as others) over the years. I'd really like to see overhead pics.
