Hey guys, I've been thrown for a loop on these rams I got recently. Not too sure if I've got a male and a female or two females. Any help is appreciated!

Sometimes I find it difficult to sex rams.
This particulars fish's fins and body size lead me to believe it's a male. Its also semi-aggressive, chasing away certain fish that come into its area of the tank. The only reason I'm not entirely sure, is that it has a bit of a pink tinge in its...
Thanks for the help so far, but I also took a couple more pictures that might make it easier to tell:
Male?
Female?
The only thing is, the fish I believe to be the male, has a belly that is more pink whereas the fish I believe to be the female doesn't really have a pink belly at all.
I picked up some GBR's from the LFS and I'm not so sure if I received a male and a female.

I had added the male (didnt have one before), but that was before this issue. :/
Hi guys, pretty new to apistos. I have 3 females and 1 male cacatuoides.
One of my females has, what looks to be, enlarged lips. Her mouth is now always open - she eats and swims around so I don't know what's wrong with her.
Any info is greatly appreciated!
