Question trying to ID

Hello everyone, new here and just getting into the whole Cichlid thing. I picked up a couple of Ram at my LFS. At the time not really knowing much about them. I have since started a new 55 G and plan to set it up as a Cichlid tank.
With that said I think I have two male Rams but not sure and now I find out there are different dypes of Rams. so what do I have Confused
When looking at them today they got into a lip lock with each other and I have looked at them so much they look identical now Confused

Pics are in link below

They look like Bolivian Rams too me. They are a dwarf species. You should not put them with other Cichlids of normal size. They might be German Rams, also a dwarf.

The sight below as info on both:
