Hmmmm... not convinced as yet!
WHat size is the fish Neo?
Can you see hairs on teh gill plates thet extend back past the gill opening?
Hairs on the first ray of the pectorial fin, if so, are the hairs all the same length, or are the longer towards the tip?

2.5" and no odontode growth I would lean towards the fish being a female.

* Dont take any notice of this Neo *
From my readings i would of said male too, because of the shape of the pectoral fins and the shape of the head but i know absolutely nothing about sexing so there!
lol
