Hard to tell. Close up shots of each will help.

Closeups are needed to confirm, my guess based on these pictures are two females.

There are 2 different headshapes. Better pictures are of more help but looking at the position of the eyes and the headshape I would say the top one is a male and the bottom one a female.
Every great achievement begins with a dream ;-)

Looks like a pair. Males are normally slimmer and have "hairy" fins.
