Female based on the rounded dorsal and anal fin tips. Also the pelvic fins are proportionately smaller than those found on males. In matured males the fin tips would be pointed, the pelvic fins larger and the dorsal fin blue-hued. The blue hued fins may be apparent prior to fin shape development.

I agree that eggspots aren't a gender indicator, but fin coloration, shape and size are great indicators and manifest way earlier than the blue body sheen does.
