I know it's expensive but your fish are stunted and going to get very sick and die they don't just need depth they need length and width to I wish you luck

Mal are more aggressive and usually bigger. As juveniles it's harder to tell but the males have a pointy genital papilla as they mature males develop a bump on the head
