We all know how difficult it is to identify the sex of these fish, so please post a picture in here and we'll try to help you (or at least give an educated guess!).

The fish looks quite under nourished, skinny body, sunken eyes, etc.... I would get it well fed up and look at it again in a month or so's time!

sunken eyes is not a good sign! Keep a close eye on it!
I'm sure he'll come around once you've had him for a while though. Does he act normally?

yes he's made a cave by digging the sand under a log and he seems quite healthy and active to me. i didnt realise his eyes looked sunken...
anyway il continue to feed him well and hope he's fattens up.
