Female. The anal fin gives the appearance of being a gonopodium because of the way it is colored but the rest of the fin that you would expect to see on a female is there... but it is hyaline (clear).

You think she's pregnant?
Yes. Any livebearer female that has ever been in the presence of a male is likely to be pregnant pretty much all the time. And she can produce multiple broods from one mating and will do so every 30-45 days or so.
