Welcome to the forum!
Eba are notoriously difficult, as generations of line breeding has diminished most of their characteristics. Venting will give you the best answer here.
I’ll defer to
FINWIN
’s judgment on any visual characacteristics because she has way more experience with the fish than I have.

Welcome aboard
Only way I could tell the difference was when the female dropped her egg tube. The pair I once had looked almost identical to me lol.
Have your EBA paired off and spawned?
To give you an idea here is my last pair of ebjs. Here's Jazz the female. She got to 6". The body is rounded. The differences were easier to spot when they matured.
The male, Rocky. He got to 8 inches. You see his huge top fin and the squarish, almost bottle shaped body.
Combo shot. Jazz on the left, Rocky to the right. They were a terrible pair. Rocky kept hassling her but Jazz wasn't interested. He'd pursue her across the 6ft tank relentlessly. Jazz started fighting back. They often lip locked so I separated them.
