Dovii male or female?

Can anyone sex my 2.5"-3" dovii? Thanks ahead of time!

Pictures aren't clear enough for me to tell. Typically at that size, you should start noticing a bit of speckling above the lateral line if it's a male.

Pictures are still too grainy. Wait for it to get a little bigger, shouldn't take too long since it's a dovii.

Well thanks for looking!!! It's grown a good inch in the last month.

While it's still young but looking at the fish body, tail, fin shape and color, prety much it's a female.

Thanks for the reply!! I'm hoping for a female becouse the dovii shares a 125gal tank with a male jag that's a little bigger.

Showing more black. Some blue when angry and changes back to almost all white with black spot on back
