I'd like to hear advise on what sex these two are-
Zebra #1 (suspected male)
Zebra #2 (suspected female - ignore the broken dorsel ray
)
Side View
Behavior wise, the "female" likes to hang out under the shaded areas of the driftwood (where "she" is now) - while the male likes to hide inside a crevice of the driftwood. (not shown)

Going by majority opinions, it seems they're two males.

the body shape looks like males but the growth on them?

I haven't kept this species, but if your "female" is really that, she's very skinny - a well-fed female should be wider between the two paired fins than a male.
So my vote is for two males...

They look a little small maybe 5-6 cm TL or so, second pic is definitely a male...first pic is probably a male but I am not 100% sure.

No Question about it, they are two males, the difference you are seeing is just one is very dominant and gets the best of food and shelter

I would say males too.
