They are too young and in stress colouration. Plus the pictures are not good. Sorry, no chance to say something definitive.

I'll put it this way: Anyone who says they are able to sex them from these pictures is either overconfident or lying to you.

And FB is not a source of reliable information. Period. (Says the person that boycotts the site for almost 20 years/since its beginning now.)

Appreciate the reply
Safe to say even the lfs could be wrong on the sex.
I went back to the LFS to get them verified and they were kind enough to allow me to change to another pair which are more obvious to tell apart. However there were no more caca pair and I settle with a pair of tefe
