males imo. look at their sides:
female= pinkish belly
male= regular bellys ( the ones you have)

Ok. Thanks!! They hang out with each other ALL the time. They never leave each others sides.

As stated above, females have a crimson stomach. Males have the first 2 rays in thier dorsal fin lengthend. A pretty easy cichlid to sex IMO.

Will my 2 male German blue rams fight in the 25 gallon high heavily planted tank? Or will they be fine?
