I am sure that the one ram is a female but I am not sure of the other. Can anyone help me out?

Pictures would help

Males: The first three rays on the dorsal fin are generally elongated, the black spot on the side is solid and no blue shows through, the anal fin passes the base of the tail and there is no solid black on the ventral fins, males generally have bulkier heads, this will only be apparent if you've kept cichlids before.

Females: Pink bellies generally, the anal fin doesn't generally pass the base of the tail, blue iridescent spots show through the dark black spot, and they generally have solid black on their ventral fins and plump bellies.

I was trying to get the pics on but was messing up. The links to the pics are there now.
I forgot to mention that they are very small
 
Thanks for the reply. I was sure the first one is a female and when choosing the other one I was trying to pick a male but I wasn't 100% sure. Thanks for the confirmation.
