Gday mate,
Judging by head shape and few extra Bristles it looks like a male mate and nice colouring too.

Male. The larger pic shows bristles up the snout. You need to take a side on pic of the head or you can tell by gently touching the snout. Rough is female, squishy is male.
This is around 90% on a fish this size another cm will show male growth.
The female also have growth around the lips so don't rule it out being female.
I have 2 pr of Peppermints a cm above yours and have tried the above method and agree it is a fair way of judging sex.
There's a few breeders close by that may read this and may be able to help you out.
Its a male Sean. Might be hard to tell just yet by the bristles, but you can tell by the body shape. See how the body starts to taper in to the tale immediately after the pectoral fins. On females the body is usually broader and doesn't taper to the tail until around the middle of its belly.
Hopefully a couple of the pepps I gave you are girls, and your male will have a few girlfriends in a few months time.
