Top fish is a male and the bottom fish is a female. Look for the pick belly on the female.

Both are female. There is a hint of pink on the belly of the top fish, and both has metallic speckles in the lateral spot.

Hi all,

Same for me.

Do it live with nannacara anomala ?

I think it is possible, but they'd be better on their own as the Nannacara will bully them. Personally in an 80litre tank I would only keep one pair/harem of dwarf cichlids.

It's the longer ventral and anal fins of the upper fish that have me thinking that it's a male. Any chance of some additional pictures of them?

I find that M. ramirezi of more normal color (similar to wild fish) are easy to sex at this size. Finnage and body color can be 'ambiguous' so I look at the dark flank patch. This patch is more elongated on males; on females it is more round/oval. Additionally, the blue scales inside of the patch vary with sex. On males, the blue scales are mostly around the outer margins of the patch. On females, the blue scale are found in the center of the patch, too. Based on this, your photo shows 2 females.
