You either have a male and a female or one is the dominat male and the other is a submisive male.

I'm thinking male and female, judging by the fins. Top one has rounder fin, and bottom much longer and pointier.

You are able to sex GTs by coloration, body shape, facial patterns, and vents not finnage. I have had many people ask me if my female was a male just because of her trailers and nuchal hump. Like aquanero said, OP has either two males (one being very submissive) or a male and female, but theyre are still young.
 
They are prob both male, are ey together in the me tank? Also the first one looks much smaller and less mature, im guessing age difference
 
I've raised many of these up to this size. In my opinion, the first two pics are of a female, and the following pics are a male (99.999% sure)

+1 THANKYOU!! i get soo annoyed when people continue to insist on trying to sex GTs by only the roundness of their finnage, when i had my pair my female got trailers and a nuchal hump way before my male did and many others have seen this as well yet people continue to post this like its the 100% way to sex them :nilly:

but yeah bottom one is def a nice little male, looks like he is going to be a stunner for sure, however i think it is still too early to tell the sex of the top one, by the designs within its fins i want to lean towards it being a subordinate male (or younger/late bloomer) i would let it grow a bit more and then post pics again or just vent it and know for sure
