Looks like the female on the right side of the tank and a male on the left. Keep them divided and keep the water clean. Feed them sparingly for a while. You won't believe the colors on the female when she is in condition. Canary yellow with a pink belly. Good luck, get them to spawn and spread them around!

Thanks alot George:) i thought the same as you on the sexes. although i was told the larger one is male and the two smaller ones female. and the largest is the one you think is female. I have another one in a different tank healing from the from previous aggression. once that ones all healed up ill take pics of that one too, then they will all be moved into a three way divider. and i will keep them divided as a lessoned i learned from your pair.
