It looks like a female to me, both from the vent pics and the body shape, the narrowness of the orange fin margins, and the shortness of the fins. The fifth picture actually looks like a male's profile, but the rest all look female. I would say 90% female, but still possible it's a male, particularly if it is still quite small.

Hey guys thanks for the reply just in case i DID get kinda better pics-posted-definitely a mover!!!
100% female. The green beard around the cheeks are a dead giveaway.
Hey good morning-what exactly do you mean by unpaired fins?What we need is a full side shot of the fish.
This is a female I had for a bit. View attachment 1393997
A key to telling the sex is the unpaired fins. The dorsal, anal and tail in males will be bright and shiny much like their body. In females these fins are dull, not bright and shiny. Compare my female to the picA201 posted. See how bright and shiny its fins are compared to the one I posted.
ok cool so ur saing when its that teal green metalic its female? its only blue sometimes usually greenish tho. thanks i didnt even know that
So as we see all fish normally have a pair of both Pelvic and Pectoral fins. Both the tail, dorsal, and anal fins are all singular or unpaired.
You can see in this male i had he has the bright blue markings in the unpaired fins.
