Number 2 looks to be a male but the others are more difficult to see. A closer picture of the fish would be helpfull. I think you do have both male and female.

i agree with jac and to me number 4 looks like a female
close up pictures of each individual would help

1: Impossible to say, as the angle of the fish makes it hard to see the shape of the fish.
2: Probably male - odontodes on dorsum, broad head, thick pectoral ray.
3: Hard to say, possibly male - small, but body shape looks too "skinny" for female. Could be immature tho'.
4: Probably female based on body shape.
5: Difficult, but possibly female (body shape, head shape)
6: Difficult, possibly male (headshape is more male than female, pectoral fins are quite thick).

I'd say it's likely that you have at least some of each male and female in the group.
