Are these pictures of the same fish?
I think they are Bolivian Rams, hard to tell sex with blurry pictures, though. Someone more knowledgeable might be able to.

Definitely german rams, not bolivians. not sure what color morph or gender though.

I would say the second picture is female based upon her pinkish belly. I'm new to this too though so not definite. When they are young it is also difficult to sex them. The most sure fire way I think is the length of the anal fin. If, when flat, the tip of the anal fin reaches the tail fin then it shoul be male. Like I said I'm new to this but that's what I have learnt

Also, I think the first pic is a male because it has a taller body. The pectoral fins on a male usually don't have any black on them whereas a female will usually have a black stripe. Hope that helps
