Sexing can be quite difficult in juveniles. Once they start to mature males will develop more pronounced patterns on their faces. The females will lack these patterns.

I found the following regarding green severum:
Differentiating between the male and female can be very difficult in younger specimens. The coloration of the male and the female are basically the same, the female is usually paler and lacks the blue wormy markings on the head. The adult male has longer more pointed fins. The female has a dark patch on the dorsal fin right above the second to last band.
