I'm guessing all 4 of those fish will eventually try to beat eachother up unless you have a really large tank (180 would be the bare minimum size I'd go). But for the time being, because of the size difference, it may attack the smaller fish.

As for the sex, Females should have color all the way down their gill plates and males will only have color about 1/2 way down.
