I have three peacock gudgeons, 2 I am pretty sure are female but the third I'm not sure. The black stripe tells me female but the head tells me male. Its the first one in the pictures.

fish in left picture is male
fish in middle picture is a deformed female (has a bent back)
fish in right picture could be a young male

males get a rounded forehead when they mature and are well fed.
 
They are all the same age so that's why I was also thinking male. However, everything I read said that only females have the black stripe so I was confused.
