hard to tell.my female is very dark right now like this one.look for blotches rather than spots around the mouth.the females have blotches and the males have spots.

i would think that is a female because males tend to be alot more colourful my female also looks alot like that

males usually are a lot larger than the females fully grown too, are they not?

Hay guys I am new to the group and I am really admiring all of you guys babys and I would like to convo with you guys if you will have me. I have two jacks my self. I am really into the JD's. I have a 175g Oceanic Bow front with a lot of different kinds of cichlids. But I really like the JD's. I think I have a m & f but I cant's tell. I have had them for about 6 months or more but they have not spawn.
