That’s for sure a male. I had to order three female Badis online in the end. Cause in stores it’s always males, the drab ones are just subdominant males.

If you seen any hint of red, like with this guy, it’s a male. Females are just plain silver / beige.

Here’s a good pic of a female. Zero color.
