I was sort of thinking that but my male is smaller and already has the long flowing pointy dorsel fin etc

The head shape is making me think male on this though

His is one I’d need to vent to be sure. It does have male characteristics, but some female ones too.
Head shape looks more male, tail edging looks more like what you see on males. But... it has white in the top dorsal fin. That Ive seen most commonly in female gold saums. The body color looks female, the blue on the face looks more female too.

Looks like this one may be too close to call so may have to leave it. I did see some aggression from it too towards one of the other GT's in the tank.
 
That is a female.
Dorsal fin is white at front, a trait I have only ever seen in females. The abdominal region is females shaped aswel. The nuchal hump is also a female hump.

Here are some of my old females to compare.

All the fish below are female and look very much like ops fish.
