Are they two males or a male and a female or maybe two females?

Ive no idea what my two new cichlids sexes are. They hang out together but live in two separate shells right next to each other. they did go into a shell together once but never after that(that i know of)
Any ideas or knowledge of what to look out for?
Should i attach some videos?

Ok. Thanks. Here’s some pics maybe you could tell from them:

Are those shell dwellers ? If so, sexing can be difficult but not impossible. Pull up a chair and watch them for an hour. You will see differences. Look for color depth and not so much color difference. Bulk or slimness in the body. Stare at them for a while.
OK. I just went back and cast the hairy eyeball on your pictures. I'm going to go out on a limb and say with 75 % certainty that you have a pair. Time will tell.
