Help wanted sexing my juvenile Gold Saum

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I've separated my pair of GT because they won't quit spawning. I got rid of all their fry except this little one who was too hard to catch. He was one of the smallest of the bunch and hiding in a giant piece of driftwood. Even though he was so small compared to the others, I still think it's a male becuase he has a slight pattern showing on the back of his dorsal, anal fin and tail.

cute lil guy. i was really hoping for another male, but it looks like i got a female this time. :(
 
so when i first ask this my lil gt (named Jag) was very small and had little coloring to her. Now she gotten a little bigger and I am staring to have second thought of the sex. Jag colors have changed alot and her dorsal fin becoming very pointed. Do you think my gt is still a female???
