First one is a certain male based on pectoral fin odontodes and overall body shape (fairly fat tho'). I'm pretty sure the third picture is male too - again based on pectoral fin odontodes and body shape. The second picture has a wide head, which is typical for males, and the pectoral fin looks fairly thick - but not much in the way of odontodes on the pectoral fin.
