no they all have whiskers the only way i am pretty sure is the body shape. female fat and rounder, male slimmer.

yeah, thanks.

on closer inspection i now see they all do :roll:

i only noticed it on 3 of them after i thought 1 had a piece of hair stuck in its mouth.

now that they have decided to settle a little for the evening i see it on all of them.

oh well, wait and see time again

If you seperate males and females and condition them up it becomes more obvious and you also get more eggs when you breed them.

I know they aren't pearls, but my zebra danios I can tell apart. My male is always slim, while my females get quite fat bellies with eggs. Don't know if pearls have something similar, but male zebras have a more goldy background (ie behind the stripes) colour while the females are more silver. I have 2 females and a male and the male will pair off with a female and they will 'dance' in a circle. You'll know you have different sexes when you start getting bazillions of fry too
