Just bought these 2 rams for my 75 gallon... the lfs here in athens wasnt very helpful sexing (i had more knowledge on the matter). However i am 99% sure they are both males. Looking for confirmation please. Side note... both just acclimated to my hospital tank so thier color has not 100% returned. Also thank you ???

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe all the females have a bright pink area on their belly. That's the easiest way to tell.

+1 caleb, Yep thats one. Male has yellow belly. 3rd prong on dorsal is long and pronounced. And the way blue encroaches on the black spot. All are good identifiers.
