These little guys are not the easiest to sex. If they get along and hang out together then they are almost certainly m/f. Very few CA cichlids get along that are not pairs and theres a lot that are pairs and still won't get along.

With that being said if I had to guess I'm saying the one on the left is male. It has the typical male shape and looks to be male from the little bit of vent I can see. The one on the right looks to be female. If you look at it it's face is slightly shorter and its body is more rounded.

A blue almost purple cast. They got really pretty.
