German Blue Rams...help Sexing?

Apparently mine are too young to sex accurately. The only way is by looking at their dorsal fin. He agreed that I was given 2 males in the beginning and then went to give me another 2 males until I pointed it out. I'm am hoping and crossing all my fingers and toes now that I have a male and female. They are bobbing at the moment but as soon as I can get some better pics I'll post and see what you think.
At the moment I've gone past caring! The Maidenhead Aquatics is quite far from me and all this travelling has me dead. As far as I cab see the dorsal fins match the description but knowing my luck they'll be wrong!!

Here we go then, what do you think? I've decided Im not convinced lol:

If they are two males I'm going to be ridiculously annoyed for all the faffing about today, but I'm sure I'll get over it...=\
These two do seem to be sticking closer together and are out and about far more than the previous two =S

This pic makes me think they are Male and Female as the one on the bottom has a shorter dorsal fin and a redder underside?

If you need anymore pics let me know I have taken like a bazillion!

Any suggestions on sex are greatly appreciated xx
 
I'm no expert on GBR's by any means, but going on general comparison, in the bottom photo the lower fish does look a lot less coloured up...especially around the eye. Which leads me to think they are male and female. The shape of their anal fins are also slightly different; the bottom ram has a far more pointed one compared to the rounder fin of the top fish.

Got my fingers crossed for you Amy!
 
I wish they would just grow overnight so I could tell better!! Lol, ah well these two aren't bickering and are sticking quite closely together so even if they are males at least I might not have a fight on my hands.
Can't believe how exhausted I am over all this! And to top it off some of my cories are flashing! I hope o don't have white spot on the way! Water change and a dose of White spot treatment tomorrow after work me thinks! xx
 
Let them colour up a bit then post a few piccies in a week or so. Rams are just awesome fish.

All the best, LP
 
Ok I have some new pics of each of them.
They still haven't grown much, but one seems to have a much darker black spot with no blue through I where as the other hardly has a black spot and seems to shimmer throughout.

Here is what I'm hoping is the female:
