The first one is a male. Only male L260 grow very long odonthodes at the jaw. The second picture is not clear enough to see...

Female L260 have white bellies. So if you can't get a clear picture just try and see for your self if the fish has a complete white bellie. Males have marbled bellies.

I think pic 1 is male and pic 2 is female. The second fish has a shorter nose, thinner hard ray on the pectoral fin and has more curves lol !
