It appears female based on the lack of blue spangles in the back half of the body as well as the dorsal and caudal fins. Fatten her up and good water quality to brighten her up!

+1, although I would say good nutrition in sufficient quantity and not necessarily fatten her up, and the environment in which she feels comfortable should also tend to help intensify her coloration.
