hi guys need a help i have a pair discus
They have paired off and have had eggs many times.

The question is, how do I know if they are 2 females?

Hey cika

congrats i am guessing the red to be female and san merah to be the male, my understanding is the female have very rounded tips on there dorsal fin, and the male have quiet a pointy fin. with a big adult this is quiet easy to distuinguish.

If any one thinks this is an old wives tale and has a better way please correct!.

Pointed and round fins is generally not very accurate - however I see fertilised eggs so I'm going with orange - female, brown - male.
