Anyone want to help me out?

I only ask, because I had pretty much convinced myself this was a male. Someone just mentioned that they thought it was a female.
 
I can try and take vent pictures tomorrow, but I'm terrible at venting.
 
The only way to determine its sex with 100% certainty is to vent it.
 
venting is easy my friend. you simply net out your fish. then gently squeeze its stomach until a clear liquid comes out from its vental are. a U shape is female and a V shape is a male. hope this helps :D :D :D
 
I'm thinking female after getting these pics.
