I've read that the females have more blue on the jaw than males anf I've looked at confirmed males to compare with but I'm kinda stumped. What do y'all think?

Its a male. If it was female it would have less spangles in the body n fins and more on Gill plates

I wanna say female..

I'm surprised by all the votes for female. Based on the spangles on the operculum, my immediate impression was male. Females have more of a greenish sheen across their lower jaw, and lack most of the spangles.

So the consensus is male. By looking at the vents, what would be the difference in the sexes?
