It appears to be hard to find any information on that subject.

I found a recently described species here:

Perhaps you can contact one of the authors and ask if he/she has any opinion on the subject?

Or you could drop a PM to someone listed as a current keeper of the species - Steve (The.Dark.One) or Dave Rinaldo may be able to advise on their personal experiences

gravid females show greenish eggs through the skin of the belly

apart from that it's the usual; males are slim, more pigmented and tend to have pointier pectoral fins, females are paler and fatter and overall bigger.
