Both females based on the abdomen and what can be seen of the breeding tubes. They are likely fighting due to them both wanting to spawn and not with each other (meaning they will see each other as a threat and try to end that).

You cannot go by body shape unless it is a male with a massive nuchal hump.

Hope this is a bit better
I'd say female there too.

I would not put a Male in with those two. But you could replace one with a male.

Also...if they don't stop fighting, I would rehome one.

I would put no more than 2 angels in a tank that size.

And no.... You are not better off keeping the two you have as they are doing a lot of fighting and lip locking. I would re home one.

What is the foot print of your tank? How long is it?
