Looks pretty young, any pics more side on or ones that show the dorsal and anal fins?

No expert on keyholes, but judging by the fins and the extensions on the dorsal, I’d say its a male

My gut feeling was a male too, I've had such rotten (or good however you look at it) luck with these from buying a small group, ended up with a breeding pair, gave them to a breeder, then must've been left with males because one was terrorising the other, now just left with this chap, feel a bit sorry for it being on it's own it hangs around with the Bolivians, I probably should rehome it but it's such a nice fish think I'd watching wander round the tank.
