Time for the million dollar question. Tomorrow I have had this GT for a week. It’s allmost 3 inches long. Could it be a male or a femal? I’m leaning towards female myself.

Too early to tell. As of now I’m stuck on both. Give it several months and you should have a definite answer.

In most Cichlasomines, (Andinoacara being one) the shape of the dorsal fin, (especially by 3") is very telling. Males tend to have dorsal fins that come to points, females are rounded.
Here is an example
