Spotted Mandarin sex id

Like the title says I’m trying to see if it’s a boy or a girl lol. I wanna say girl but…. Maybe be too young to tell yet. I have a larger male who is clear as day that he is a male hoping this one is a female. They don’t seem to fight but also ignore each other for the most part. On the hunt for pods.

Its a female. The males have the high pointy fin (I don't know the terminology)

That's a male, it's not big, but the spike is there, and females don't have a spike at all (usually a slightly rounded leading edge of the fin.)

They will usually ignore each other, the chasing will happen mostly around lights out in the tank, and really, males will often chase females then, too. I'd say it's mostly an age thing, and I would look towards rehoming options.

Yeah I’m thinking he is a male the point is there it’s just not long yet.
