The first one is an M. estherae, and if the photo color is accurate, it's a male. That purplish blue that shows in the fins is typical of the males of that color morph. The females are more of a solid orange in any light.

Neat, I was really hoping it to be a male. I tried venting once, but I dont want to stress the fish out my holding them, but I still wasn't sure.
