It's hard to tell from the blurry photos, but the easiest way of differentiating males and females IMO in this species is to look at ondontodes on the pectral fins. Males have a significant amount more than females. Hope this helped!

IMO, those fish are way too young to show much dimorphism. Lots of food and time and they should show you themselves ;).
