First of. introducing 5 inchers of these fish usually regardless of sex u are running a risk. ur first pictures looks like a female. venting only sure way. the bottom one is the weirdest thing ive seen lol i cant really tell on that one. Ill be as bold as to say u actually have two females.
 
just vented them they are both females. bottom vent is bigger than anal. the poor female with big head diffident survive poor thing.
