Also these are the slightly smaller that I got at the same time, Which species are these and are the two fish males or females? Thanks

The 2nd set of pics look like A. baenschi.

I don't think that these are A. baenschi because none show a lateral spot, which baenschi shows. It is probably a regani-group species. I can't say which one because the photos are to out-of-focus to use. Sorry.

Are these pictures any better to give an ID? Thank You for your help!

 

[Mike Wise]

Better. Right now my guess is that these are A. cf. eunotus Orange-tail. To be positive, I would need the vertical bars on the flanks of the fish to be visible.

Thank you very much Mike Wise, I have googled the name and I'd say I 100% agree. How do I tell the difference between the male and female?

 

[Mike Wise]

Look at photos of both sexes. Males have longer fins, dorsal fin with serrated top. Female with less metallic color on body, colorless caudal, blunt tips on dorsal & anal fins and more black on ventral fins.
