I'd say female also.

The fin just doesn't look to be all that thick.

I'd say female from the pics.The anal fin of male Polypterids is approx twice the size of the females and very muscular (see drawing)-Anne

really nice tail diagram
how old or big do they have to be to determine gender
mine is still pretty small at about 5 inches
