Haplochromis Borleyi Redfin Females or Juveniles?

[leavundst]

Hi, wanted to run this by you guys. Do you think these are juveniles or females? The store clerk claims juveniles too young to sex. To me they look like females.

Thanks.
(the flash makes them look lighter. The color varies from black orange to light silver purple with orange seemingly on the time of day. Darker morning lighter at night)

Cool Borleyi and at this point they do look like females and juvies as well.. The males will develop a blue head region in time so it still may be early to properly sex them unless you vent them..

1 female, or still too young
2 male, not real sure
3 male in the center - clearly has blue on the head and has eggspots on the ventral fins (only males have eggspots) other 2 may be female

BTW - Not Haplochromis Borleyi; they are Copadichromis Borleyi (possibly Kadango). I have some also.
