Check out This article regarding that species as it may be helpful. Immature fish are more difficult to sex so you may need to wait a bit longer.

What is the length of the fish in your pic? How long have you had it?

The fish pictured also seems to have some torn up finnage so what other tank mates are in with it? Can you provide more details on the tank size and maybe a full tank picture?

The size is 3 inches and I just brought it yesterday.

I had already read that article but I am a little bit confused. In the article It said the female usually having some black spot on the dorsal fin but I saw some video there are lot of male also have those black spot on their dorsal fin.
