Help me Sex this beauty...

[twk1]

Hello... i have a fish that i Cross bred a while back and this is the only survivor left, but he/she is strong and healthy and eats like a champ!!! Seems pretty aggressive too... lol.
Some of you might remember my old thread "Short body Kamalau X Red Tiger Motaquense" Fh is the father & Red tiger is the Mother... Well this is the only survivor, check it out....
Sorry the pics aren't really clear.. because i have no photo skills, he/she usually has a FULL definite flower line, but everytime i take a pic, he/she makes them disappear .
It's a beauty and MONSTA in the making! But i can't tell if its a Male or Female... please help me identify the sex... please!

Whats the fower line??

Flower lines are the black patches that run from the back of their gills to where the tail starts... for example like in flowerhorns and red tiger mota's or manaquenses and a lot of other cichlids.
