Boy or girl..

[Essienemo]

Good evening everybody!
I am new to the site but not new to fish keeping, however i have never owned a flower horn before.
I have always wanted one of these stunning fish and after much research (and debating!) i got my beautiful flowerhorn!

I was just wondering if it would be possible for somebody to tell me if i have a boy or girl, it might be too soon to tell but i am curious, it doesn’t matter either way! Fish is approx 4inch, the place we got it from said it’s around 3-4 months old…

Thank you in advance, i have tried to get a reasonable photo!

Never had one of these creatures but in articles and threads I've read it is reported that the only definitive way to sex them is venting, which involves netting them, flipping them over and comparing the size of the vent to the size of anus. If you google 'venting flowerhorns' you'll see photos and videos that illustrate it. Easy. All the other purported indications of gender involving markings, fins size etc are unreliable, so they say.

In a general cichlid way, I'd say probably male based on humpish head & the long dorsal & anal fins. What size is it? I've never kept flowerhorns so I'm guessing...
