I'm by far no expert, but there's two possibilities:
1. You have one of each, with the female being the one on right-hand-size on the female.
2. They are both males, and the one on the left is the less-dominant, and it's not getting sufficient food.

It's hard to say which of these two alternatives is the correct one, unfortunately...

To use venting, the picture needs to be more-close-up to the actual vent...
