Top pic is female, bottom looks male, but a side on shot would confirm this.

 

[portsmouthjoe]

those pics are side on shots?

 

[minxfishy]

Yeah its just the bottom pic isnt as clear as I cant see the black markings on the side, but I think its male as I cant see any pink on the belly or blue flecks in the black spot, also the 1st 3 spines on the doral fin are higher, which would indicate a male.

Yup top is female with that pink belly you can't miss. The bottom looks like a young male I find with the males the black spot can fade when stressed. Females spots tend to be much darker. Your little males fins should grow and be longer then the females once fully matured.

having a pair is great good luck with them.
