Question

AnswerHi Selva;
Take a look at the anal vent. It is U-shaped in females and V-shaped in males. When they are maturing the males have a larger nuchal hump on the top of the head too.
Your fish looks pretty normal to me as far as the spots but I can't tell it's sex by the picture without seeing the vent or a size reference and/or another fish to compare with. I'm just not that experienced with these fish. You might ask Ron Coleman. He is a cichlid expert that really knows his stuff. Here's his profile page;

Good luck...
