That may help a little but as far as i know the females will start losing there blue spangles it'll be a challenge to tell. My festae is roughly 4" and i still cant sex it lol there good at changing colours all the time pretty much cross dressing when there small.

OH! and welcome to MFK!!
 
most female do have the blue speckles in the fins they just loose them over time. like the other guy said only time will tell grow them up and you will know.
