rescued betta so still gaining full color, anyway I can not figure out the gender of her/him. This one has me very stumped. So any ideas of what gender? Also would like to add there has been no aggression towards any other tank mates.

No, it looks completely smooth under its gill plate cover but I also don't see an egg spot like females have.
