The female is tubby and has more rounded fins. The black bars are also much more clear. (breeding colors) If you see one with dark bars like that I'd say 90% chance it's a female getting ready to breed with something in the tank. You can also see the fish's tubes pretty well in the video. (again, because of breeding) Look for the same characteristics-just scaled down a bit.
female- rounded......male- pointed
90% of the time females will have a black dot on the dorsal fin where males won't. My female lacks the black dot-so obviously it's not sure-fire.
BTW, I agree with you having 2 males, male A being dominant.
