i bought a 9” dovii they told me it is a male. the dorsal fin is not really that pointed. does this mean it’s a female? or could it still be a male?

I’ll try to get a pic up later on
 
At 9" it should be fairly easy to determine the sex.
The males have lots of very small dots throughout the body,
whereas the females still have the black stripe running down both
sides of their body.
 
What would you say the smallest size that they could be accurately sexed is?
 
doviis are easy to sex evan when they are small 4or 5 inches
