Need help in sexing these...

[BC in SK]

Severum is a male----worming pattern on the face indicates male; females lack these markings entirely.

Also agree that both your sals are female. 1st one is a certain female; the 2nd one a little more ambiguous----the dorsal spot is really tiny, but does pocess a gill plate spot and as well, the orange-red coloration on the belly is a solid blotch----both typically more female traits.

the sals were kinda paired up a while ago, they were both protecting one place so that made me think that they have paired up... and i shifted all my cichlids into a diff tank... now i am see they arent together anymore... kinda the ambiguous female has ditched the friend.... so i am not sure....

thanks on the sev's...

The sal is female for sure because of the blue blotch on the dorsal.
Don't know about the GT or serv and FM is hard to sex w/ out venting.
