Going just by fin length and color, I can't tell. Look and see if it has an oviposter. Only females have them, and it looks like a white dot poking out on the underside of the fish (between the ventral and anal fins).

That is a male double tail plakat.  Looking at body shape, fin shape/size in the dorsal, anal, and pectoral fins say male.   He is a pretty boy.

Males (especially when young) can have a white spot on the underside of their belly that closely resembles a female's oviposter.  So going just by a white dot on the belly is not a good way to judge gender.
