The first looks to be a female, and the second looks male (both hard to pinpoint without a vent shot). As far as the kok goes if the fish is as small as it looks in the pic, then I'd say you've got a pretty decent shot a really nice fish.

Breeding on the other hand is up to the fish.
 
Pic number 1 looks female and 2 looks male. As far as the offspring having a hump, it depends on the genes of the fish.
