I would wait for its colors to come in. Females can show up with pointy fins, but females don't have the worm squiggles on the face like males.

He/She changes his colors a lot some parts of the day its dark and others its green and striped.

Look at the face when it is lighter. Worming in the face would indicate a male. You can determine male/female as early as around 2-3" total length.

When it lightens up ill try to remember to take a picture of its face because im not familiar with worming.
