I've got these two in a breeding tank, but I fear they are both female...

i think i agree with sharon that they are both female.but it's hard to really tell because they both look very young.
 
I really don't know much about sexing them, other than what I've researched recently...
 
Were the photo's taken at an odd angle? The body shape doesn't look right for a normal ram, but more like a 'balloon ram' due to the height of the body.

A way to sex them is to look at their stomachs, females have a pinkish area where males dont, pretty sure this method is correct, though someone with more experience with rams might be better able to help.

EDIT:'A sure fire way of sexing your Rams is to check the black blotch in the fish's side. If there are blue spangled dots in and around it, that's a female. Those with no dots present are males.' Don't know how true this is but taken from an article on another website about rams LINK
 
They are Angel Rams aka Balloon Rams...Thanks for the link!
