Both male from what I can tell, but there are much better ram sexers here than me.

In that size tank, you shouldnt have a problem, each will no doubt claim their own area and leave each other alone aside from the odd chase now and again.

These fish are so hard to sex and thoes photos don't show enough detail. My guess last photo female. 2nd male. The other 2 I can't tell.

The more photos you look at of male and females will be your best way to sex them. I have 2 males I thought one was female when I got it now I don't know. I think I have 2 males they get along. A little showing off .

I when I saw this post I thought we were showing of our fish
Here is one of mine he has colored up more since this photo.
