What is your experience with Macaw cichlids?

Definitely! Please do! Would be interested to see such a big group at such a size - interesting that you are seeing different markings between them all.

At 3-4 inches you should be able to sex them quite easy, the males get a spotty pattern in the dorsal and tail fin with a black spot on the side and the females should have a black stripe down the middle of the body, no spotting in the fins and the dorsal fin should be turning a metallic blue.

I'm including ine that I think is a male (#1) my favorite, #2 I think is a female, and #3 seems to have some vertical bars...this is not all of them of course. They are so hard to photograph or even count, because they are so fast.
