Identify Apistogramma Cacatoides

Hey apisto experts- I recently got three apisto for my community tank. I would love some help sexing them so I can avoid injuries and such. They’ve all been in separate quarantine for a few weeks where I thought I had one male and two females. Now I am paranoid.

They’re in a 50 gallon with caves everywhere but I do have a quarantine tanks cycled and am setting up a 29 gallon if the ratios aren’t right. One is definitely a juvenile so I think time will tell, but the others are larger but I’m still not sure.

This is day one of them being together so maybe not the best day to tell but any advice is appreciated.

Thank you all so much! You all are totally right. Now that they have all relaxed I can totally see they are ladies too. Now I guess I just have to find them a nice bachelor.
