Looks like you have a female and a male there. I can say bottom photo is definitely a male. The top pic appears to be female but id be more confident if i could see another picture with a slightly different angle.
Female fins have a much rounder curve to them so theyre just not as easy to spot as the male which clearly has almost a 90 degree angle to the fin there.

 

You may also be able to tell by behavior. If you have a male/female pair i bet that male is following her around everywhere she goes.
