It will need to be atleast 3-4" to be sexed.

Hopefully you get a male and female, I look forward to some update pics when they get bigger. Where'd you get them from?
 
Its hard to accurately sex them that small same with any other cichlid. I've got four festaes myself in a 95 and they are bigger then yours but I still can't sex them.
