The pics aren't perfect for sexing these, so I can't even take a guess at this point. The easiest way I found to sex them is by looking at the pelvic fins from above with all the fish side by side. Males develop elongated fins in the posterior, central part of these fins, and have an almost triangular shape to them once really mature. Females have a very slightly rounded, not quite straight, look when compared.
