Can’t tell on my phone sorry
Can you post full body Pics. Fins are usually a dead giveaway
top one is suspected male even though the fins are a bit round and dont trail to almost even length with tail like my large male,this is the only 1 outta 3 that will interact with him at all,flaring,tailslap,mouth locking etc.
bottom one is an unknown to me,i wanna say female just due to the plain looking fins..she is growing her tail back since the large male has chewed it off basically a while back,growing back pretty quick

Flairing and mouth locking can also be foreplay. You may want to play that one out a little bit longer with safe hiding for the smaller one
