Sexing Hongsloi

[ParadiseGuerrero]

I have two hongsloi one of which is definatly a male however I'm unsure about the second, is there an easy way to sex these guys?

Females have less colour, rounded dorsal, standard length rays on dorsal, darker lateral line markings and are smaller than males.

sorry probably should have started with this but could some one see if this guy is a girl?-

these two show the colour best, it isn't quite as colourful as the other guy but still shows a lot of red and some yellow (the other is quite spectacular though)-

these show the shape-

Sorry I'm not sure which would be most helpful. Is it possilbe to tell the sex at all, it is stil youngish; about an inch and a quarter.. I'm not sure when they mature

all the pictures are of the same fish; the other is definatly a male (not pictured) so if you say this is definatly (or most likly) then I will have one of each Why can't everything be as easy to sex as ruby barbs!?

As long as this is an adult, it would be female. Not having seen juvenile males, this is also what I'd expect them to look like.
