The first photo has a body shape that looks like female guppy, or maybe an endler/guppy hybrid (more towards guppy)... pure female endlers have no patterns and only light silver/bronze color tint, usually mostly transparent.
The other 4 photos are all male endlers (mostly also hybrids).
thats what i was thinking..cause like all the other endlers kept chasing these 2 like they were females..and the females were starting to mark territories?1 of the endlers with the nice black and red colouration was seen circling the female with the head pointing to the female while the body was flushed to the female too..not sure..have to monitor them..one of the female is currently abit plump...
Yeah, if you see the male endlers always chasing and "dancing" around it, then that is a female.
The male endler dance is quite entertaining, they can actually hold the side-ways curved display position even in fast flowing water, i guess its a competition to show off their color.
Only male endler/guppy have gonopodium. Please take a look at the picture!

Female endler/guppy will not display any colour on the body.

Oh my...Very fat looking male then..buy why are the other males chasing after it n trying to show off to it..odd..can't be a he/she right..anyway the do called males are about 3.5cm while the normal males are about 2 to 2.5cm only
Maybe the endler males are just "challenging" the guppy males, probably establishing some sort of hierarchy.
Male endlers usually stay small at 2+ cm, while male guppies tend to grow much larger at up to 4-5+ cm (some specially bred variants are even larger).
