Sounds like two males to me.  The lyrate tails...a male characteristic.  I
found these guys really hard to sex.  I could sex other fry at a much
younger stage...

I spawned them in a 10 gallon, then as they got bigger a 20 gallon, so a
4ft tank should be plenty of room.  They are gorgeous fish.  Good luck
finding a female in Syndney....here in the US is another story.
