(for what it's worth, they both look like males to me)

They both look like females. If you use the thread Linus recommended you can see that the males have a narrower body and the anal fins are different.

I would tend to believe what Jim says. He has, infact, bred several species of Pseudas, so his eyes IMO are some of the best for these fish. that is just my nickle

I see a male and female also.
Head shape gives it away.
