Yes the first one is female but I see why you are in doubt as the dorsal extension is not showing male like filament extension. Let's see if it turns out to be male, ha ha ha

Also the shape of the first ones body is very female like :)

i kept these German rams years ago and found them fragile.

I have kept golden rams recently and agree they can be very fragile, apparently due to inbreeding. They are beautiful though.

i would have said females, the second I'm not entirely sure on though.

Yeah dude, I bred these years ago. Get a few amazon swords for them to lay their eggs on, they use a vertical surface & amazon swords are one of the plants they use in the wild.

Definitely both girls & the blue looks like she'll be ready soon, nice pink belly! It will get darker the closer she gets to spawning time. :encouragement:
