It looks like it might be a female but the only to tell for sure is to vent it. Catch it in a net and look at its underside. Just in front of the anal fin there should be two holes. If it is a female one will be quite a bit larger and if they are the same size then its a boy. Of course the fish needs to be sexually mature for this method to work.
