The smaller does look to be female, less extended anal fin, whereas the larger is definately male, long anal fins, nuchal hump. Both absolutely beautiful fish

thanx minxfishy, so maybe the male is showing signs of mating behaviour when he chases her about the tank but shes definately not having any of it, ive put a piece of slate in there but this hasnt got any attention from them I read some ware that they would clean it if they were thinking of spawning, maybe the tanks to busy for spawning as well it is slightly overstocked I think but im going to get another tank for the oscar in couple of months, thanks again I appreciate it

They go by body shape and the width of the gold saum on the caudal fins. The one closer to you is a female and the other a male (beginning of vid).
