Can someone tell me if I have a pair? I think I might have 2 males but I'm not sure, they get along pretty well though.

The Rams in question here are Bolivian rams (altispinosa)

the most reliable method to use to sex bolivians is a procedure referred to as Venting..
basically you look at the ovipositors and can determine the sex with visual inspection..
males long, thin pointed.
females short , blunt and rounded at tip.

it is a bit different with ramirezi aka blue rams.. the female will generally have a pink/orange hue to her belly
