How old are the fish? Very difficult to sex angelfish until they pair up and start to breed. With modern breeding females often have male characteristics.

I am unsure of the age i’ve had them about two weeks. they’re approximately 2 inch maybe slightly larger.
 
They are very young. Too early to say. When they double in size if you have a female she might start laying eggs, if you have a male he might fertilise them. 2 females, they might both lay eggs and just have a go at it. 2 males they may not tolerate each other, depending on tank size and territory availability. You will just have to wait for a few more months.
 
Way too young to be able to sex them. Wait til they are about 8-10 months old. Only way to tell for sure is to look at the breeding tubes which don't appear until they are getting ready to spawn. Anything else is just a guess. If you get eggs you know you have at least one female. If the eggs hatch you know you have a female and a male.
