Potential male. How big is it? You should be able to vent it.

I have never vented so no help there from me, give him her more time, unless those fins start getting pointed streamers and more a dart than a torpedo type body its a female. Just to early to be sure right now.

As a FYI when my male and female where both about 5" I could not tell for sure I had a male, they both looked to much alike, i only new the male was male because it was from raps and sexed before hand. tho there was a good 2 or 3 months i was starting to dowt this. between 6 and 7 inches it became quite obvious.
