Pugnax male or female?

[XnSdVd]

I swear it was female 2 weeks ago. No green around the gills and no laddering on the fins. The laddering started near the trailing edge of the fins about 2 weeks ago and are now halfway to the base. Can someone sex this fish? I know clownfish can change sex but i'm not sure if pugnax can...



PS: she's 4cm long and recently fed.

can I get a second opinion though?

Male : long dorsal fin, sharp-head profile and some transverse bars on the dorsal fin.

Sorry guys but after 3 days of the "female" chasing a recently added male around and tearing up his fins I'm really starting to wonder if it's really a she. Especially considering the only difference between the two are the new guy's smaller and his fins are slightly longer. The markings that identify him as male are present on the female too, see the pic? Ideas? shed some light?
