Can someone help me sex these 2 platies. Sorry for the miserable quality but I think I got a couple ok shots of the fins.

I think the orange 1 is male and the other is a female but I'm not 100%.

Yes male and female :) I would get another female so harassing wouldn't be a problem :)

I was planning to get another 2 but wanted to make sure I had the sexing down before I picked them out. lol. I'm not trusting of our local pet store clerks. I'm actually surprised that things are really good right now. I was worried the female would be hassled but so far so good, I'm hoping I can make it until tomorrow or the day after before it starts so I can get to the pet store again.

The more orange one is the male
 
picked up 2 more females the other day. 3 F to 1 M. I'm seriously in love with these guys, such personalities! I'm seriously tempted to turn our up coming 50 gallon into a livebearer tank. It was going to be a community with angels but.. hmm.
