I’ve got the same question male or female. This thing has grown quickly from about 2.25” to about 3 in a bout 7-8 weeks. Way out pacing my electric blue jack Dempsey.

Male
Easiest sign it's male is the bright blue markings in the unpaired fins. Males it's bright and very visible. In females the marks are there just very muted.
Here is a female for comparison
