Does anyone know what the reproductive organ differences are in dragonface pipefish or what to look for so I can identify the gender of the two I just bought?

Here's a pic of one of them. He/she has a small dark spot that is a bit protruded on the belly. The other pipefish has a dark spot in the same area, but it doesn't stick out. Any help identifying their gender is greatly appreciated.
