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!).

Still too small to make a good guess really...but if I had to give an answer right now, I'd say two males.

I would agree with Plastic, looking at the pecs I would say two males also!

I agree, looks like two males.... sorry... the one on pic 2 and 3 are definately a male. There is however a slight small tiny chanse that pic nr 4 and 5 is a hairy female? Let's wait and hear what Rob has to say, he can usually spot them!
(isn't that unusual the crescent the male has at the base of his dorsal fin
very nice)

First one is defintely a male - broad head and large pelvic fins.
Second one is a female - it has smaller pelvic fins and a more rounded head, and it seems it's body is more plumper than the male above.
