10 week old fry, is it a boy or girl?

OK i have a problem, some of my fry have large finnage but breeding stripes, they look like boys, but then have barring, i hope you can tell in one picture there is barring, and then another picture is of it flaring. Can boys have barring? EVER? if not I have quite a few females that look like this!

Boy. Some may show bars when young. Some may even have what seems to be an egg spot.

yeah boys can have bars when young. I got a "girl" with breeding bars and it turned out to be a boy. I would say if it has a beard then its a boy. If none of them have beards then its still a bit to young to tell.
