This may be completely impossible but its worth a try, can you sex these 2 acaras using my terrible pics?

Smaller fish approx 2 inch

Still a bit young, but if I had to make an educated guess, I'd say both are male.

1st one looks like a juvi Green Terror to me.

After another look, I have to agree with severumGS. That does look like a green terror.

mmmm, dont they look the same the acara and GT?

No Green Terrors have a more pointy face like your first one has, a slightly angled Eye Drop/line, and a yellow/white edging to the tail, your first one has it slightly, but so did mine like that when it was stressed/new.....also the markings on the fins is more like a GT

Blue Acara's have a more stumpy round face with the eye drop/line straight vertical from the eye and no coloured edge on the tail.

Generally the males fin on its back is elongated and pointy whereas the females is rounded I cant veiw the pics but I have had convicts and blue acaras before and breed them really cool to watch
