1 is a male but I can't see the other 2 well enough to say. Can you get side shots of them like you did #1?

The GBR looks like a male and the EBR looks like a female but they are hard to tell especially in photos sometimes and it looks like she may be a little young still with some growing to do.
 
The females of the standard rams will have colour in the belly, and take on a slightly more rounded overall shape. It's hard to pick out a female at all there, but it's hard to say.

Looking again, the EBR may have the shape of a female.

Dorsal and anal fins just don't seem large and pronounced enough to be a male, especially towards the back
