Two zebra to sex

We all know how difficult it is to identify the sex of these fish, so please post a picture in here and we'll try to help you (or at least give an educated guess!).

I'm really bad at this, but I'd say both females. :)

Thanks for replies.
I hope they are both females.
I know that second photo is bad. I'll try to take a better photo.

My guess would be 2 young males, but I may not be right.
Are they about 2 to 2 1/2 years old? :)

I have them a little more than 9 month. They came to me in a size 5 cm TL. What age they were then I don't know.

Hi AleGer

Based on the last photo I would say that one of the left was almost definately a young female. The one on the right however could prove to be a young male if it's odontodes (whiskers on its cheeks), continue to grow. Is the fish on the right quite plump form the side also?

From the last photo I also would say young female on the left, male on the right.
