Lack of blue on the lower gill plate usually indicates a male. He also seems to have allot of spangles on the upper half of his body, which also tends to be a male trait. Another tip is that the blue on a male's gill plate tends to be individual spots, while females will have more blotching, covering more area. I hope this helps.
Here's one of my pairs. The male is the bigger one.

Females usually have a "Blue Beard" on their jaw. I borrowed this pic off the web. The blue beard is clearly visible indicating female.
