are you sure they're all females? males can have a lot of red on them too, in fact, my largest male has more red than one of the females (my other female has a solid red lower half...). a more reliable way to tell male or female is if there is a black spot on the gill and on the dorsal fin, it's a female, if the fish doesn't have that spot, it's a male...

Female

Male, though a little blurry...
