"It can be a little tricky, but males tend to have deeper coloration with a stripe or dot on their belly. Their bodies are on the slenderer side, and they exhibit more aggressive behavior in general. Females, on the other hand, have a yellow belly and tend to be plumper in shape." (https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/aquarium/pea-puffer)

i think it might be a male?
