Liveaquaria has a good picture comparing the two. The female has a black spot on her dorsal fin, and isn't as green overall.

Like stated, yours is definitely a male.

Yup, male.

What made me doubt if mine was a male was this female that live aquaria was selling. http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversde...ref=4282&subref=AI&cmpid=E-_-TR-_-DDN-_-PRDCT
