Update on the fish: she is feeling much better and back to exploring and socializing a bit. I have a feeling it was stress. I did add a couple IAL. If it was bloat, she must’ve fasted herself more or less, because I didn’t really cut back on feedings for my other fish and let her eat when ready...
I got this picture today of 3/4 of mine... #4 is not pictured and is very much smaller than these 3 right now
My guess is that the boy is the one in the middle (with the broken fin).
The bottom (girl?) is the largest of my group (though hard to tell from photo angle) and the top/left fish is...
I have a stand underneath my 29gallon with a shelf for food and small stuff and the bucket for water changes goes underneath that, along with plastic Tupperwares with various other supplies in them. It mostly all ends up in the cabinet if I’m putting it away like I should be
I definitely thought for the first day or 5 that she was bloated (maybe had over eaten on treat day) but with the amount of meals she’s been skipping since then (I’ve probably seen her eat a few flakes twice in the last week) seems she should have un-bloated by now

I’m not seeing a video, only screenshots but it definitely sounds like swim bladder and could have been caused by over feeding. I would suggest fasting him for 2-3 days or feeding something to help with constipattion (I’ve read daphnia)
Mine are like that too. I have a brother and sister each in their own tank and they love attention. And my girl is a piggy like StarGirl ’s and feisty hahaha
Yeah it does seem like they used the most obviously female/male pairs for the video. I also remember reading that males have a more pronounced coloration. Maybe as they grow, the differences in size, shape, color etc. will become more apparent.
I found this video that may help
Sexing sewellia
Screenshot (from video) shows the pair she was comparing. Female is bigger, has wider head and body regions, and the shape of the fins more round if I understand correctly
if I had to guess I’d say your girls are 1,2, &4
Boys 3&5 ?? 6?? Who...
