yeah there should be some noticeable differences at that size though some are harder to sex than others, male will have irridescent body scales, most likely have design within dorsal fin, and only slight blue spotting on the gill plate, while female will have no design in dorsal, a lot of blue bearding and body scales wont be shiny

I read somewhere that the males have a more predominant ridge/bump on their head, I'm not sure if this is true but it could be
