Please sex these L282

[Nat's Fish]

Hi,

Can you please let me know what sex you think these two are? They are at least 12cm. I keep forgetting to measure them & they aren't easy to catch
I know the spikes don't help with measuring. The one on the right looks rounder when on the glass, almost slightly gravid but getting them on the glass is tough too
Thanks so much
Nat

Thanks Alex. A lot of people say they are the same species but I believe these were clarified as being 282. Any idea on the sex? I believe they are a pair but am not 100% sure & only one caves

I've got some updated pics so hopefully someone can help me sex them.
The first two photos are of the 13cm fish. It looks a lot rounder in the stomach doesn't it
Is that a female looking vent?
The last photo is the 12.5cm fish. The measurements don't include the long whip tail

if it helps you cant sex them from any hair or spikes on their back half.... and theres no clues on pectorial fins either... the pair i sold for a mate there was a pretty clear difference in the head shape which i think is the give away thing to look for....

Thanks mate. Their heads look a bit different, especially the nose. I'm certain now they are a pair unless anyone else knows these fish?
