It sounds like all males to me.  The females generally don't have the blue 
coloration.  They do, however have black on the leading edge of the pelvic 
fins, which the males lack.  Take a look at the fins. Here's a shot of a 
female:

This is a female in brood color.  It looks like there are fry in this photo:

This should clear it up.  The differences are pretty clear between the guys 
and the gals.
