Can anyone please sex my Kribs?

Hi all

I have a pair (bought as male and female) of Kribs but am not 100% sure they are male and female as sold.
When very small i posted same thread as this but since they have grown they do look very similar and i would like a second opinion.
I have attached a few photos for you experts to help me out.

Thanks in advance for your help.

If i was to trade one of my males would two females be better to add to tank or just one?

I have 2 pair in a 20 gallon long tank. The females get nice hot pink colored bellies.

I understand they pair off, so more than one female is not necessary. Of course, I am just beginning to sift through the mountains of research on the web too.

I agree. They are both males. You can tell by their dorsal fin. Males come to a trailing point. Females also are alot smaller and have that distinct purple belly. If these are the same age they look about the same size. I would deffinetly say you got hornswagled. Take one of them back and get a female.

You shouldn't have to worry about anything as far as aggressivness. In my case the female is the aggressor. The male will try to mate but the female will be the one running him away. Until she gives in that is. Then they should breed pretty frequently. My pair have a brood about once a month.
