Costa Rican Dovii...M or F?

[VRWC]

Ok, so Ive had this dovii about 2 months now, its about 3.5 inches and has fluctuated (as expected) between looking male and female. It is in a 265 with 2 other dovii's, a Nic male and a Costa Rican Female, both 5.5 inches. Im guessing if its a male, like I think it is, it is displaying its submissive colors.

What do you guys think?

Looks like a female to me, nice looking fish the dots are there just really faint so possibley a male. I'm not an expert but the females have more of a goldy tinge to them no? Males have a very sloped forhead too so more then likely a submissive male.

female IMO

I was going to say male, my female never had thatmuch blue on her fins.

IMO - female. nice colours on her though. would be a good one to breed

Coloration says male, but it's lacking the spotting above the latteral line. It could still go either way...IMO.
