Can someone help me figure out the sex of these Mbuna African Cichlids, sorry if the pics aren't that great

Hi,
I'm not entirely sure myself, but I did come across a resource that might be helpful - there's this link that talks about identifying the gender in African cichlids, might be worth checking out.

Thanks for the link, oceanview - I'll check it out.

Labidochromis caeruleus - that's the yellow lab. The striped one, I'm thinking frontosa, and the blotchy one, possibly an OB peacock variation? Not entirely sure, though.

I think I can help with one of them, I had a similar experience with my own fish, took me ages to figure out what it was. Hopefully this helps, good luck.

They'll figure it out on their own, then you'll know for sure.
