    Both are males. Go back and change for a female.

    Yup, both are males. I have never seen a female with fully colored fins before.

    first one does look like a female, black on ventral fin, first 3 spine on the dorsal fin is black. Best to change if you have doubt

    Both of them are like flapping their tail against one another since i put them together. Then one of them have no line on their stomach, instead left only a black dot on the stomach. So confirm is 2male?

    The one with the black blotch could be the female, which is it? photo 1 or 2?

    Having said that, the only way to confirm the sex is when the female turns yellow.

    Thank alot for your help!! But the female shouldn't be this colourful usually?

    *Meaning she is really to spawn anytime? But they are not accepting any form of pellet now. Would it affect her one way or another?

    coloration can varies, no hard fast rules that the female should be plain jane. I have seen some colorful female caca before. Nothing out of the ordinary.

    Food wise, best to start with frozen bloodworm. Not all fishes can readily accept pellets.
