yours is obviously a guy.....
It's got a weener!
just in front of the anal fin, there's a fairly obvious white thingy; females lack such a thing; those have much rounder bellies and a less stretched outlook, usually.

I guess I have three males then. if I were to find one female would that be a problem adding her to the tank with 3 males?

not a problem.
but it might be nicer on the female, if you got two females instead of one.
But petricola's are a bit like Cory's; if breeding is the aim, there should be a male surplus.
