Looks to me like 2 females. I am not on my final verdict but you can observe how they behave and look each other to confirm.

If it is 2 females, they shouldn't chase each other or mind each other so much, two males will start to bicker and a pair will behave like a pair (chasing and displaying)

Since you see the fish live, you can identify it yourself through a few factors:

• Females have a rounder belly
• Males have a larger dorsal fin that is more pointy, think broad. Females normally have a much smoother dorsal
• Males have a dark spot under their mouth which they normally get near maturity

You mentioned that they are at least 3 months old. Sexing is very difficult until about 4 months, and full maturity at 6 to 8 months of age.

Thanks for the info.

The two do get on well sometimes both moving around together and individually.

The number of times they use the log is interesting too.

Apologies.

One of the ornaments is a tree log with a hole at the top and each end.

They swim through it daily.
