Looks male ,but long way to go , what's the size of the fish

Hello. Its 14 inches

 

[GidPH]

Some more photos

14" then its a female I think cause she has very low dorsal fin and tail fin , and very less blue in dorsal and anal fin, let her settle in tank for few days than take pics that will be helpful

 

[GidPH]

I will. Thank you very much for the help.

 

[GidPH]

Still very shy. Heres a couple. And my tank set up. Is my tank too cluttered?

Not cluttered at all. It’s bare.

Take a picture of the fish when it’s fins are fully flared. I find mine flare at each other after a water change. If it’s a solo fish then it might not have reason to show you it’s fins. Also not all males have obviously more blue fins or even obviously large dorsal fins.

Okay i will add more plants then. I will try to take a photo. Still very very shy. Ate earthworms today.
