Female

What gives it away as a female?

no trailers on the dorsal and anal fins, gentle sloping forehead rather than abrupt downward slope, and darker coloration whereas the male would be more vibrant aqua-blue-green-ish and almost indistinguishable dark stripes as opposed to prominent stripes on the female. Also females spot is dark and prominent as well.

got any better pix? how big is it? It seems to have male characteristics with the exception of the fin-trailers

EDIT: in the previous post I said "stripes" (stripes go horizontal) while they go vertical on a GT so they'd be classified as "bars" ....."bands" would wrap around them vertically as opposed to stripes which stop short of the tops and bottoms of the fish

Bands = connected (Convict, Frontosa)
Bars = interrupted (Red Terror/False Red Terror, Midas)
