Can some one please gender this for me

[Ficious]

yours looks like mine! if you dont mind im going to post mine to be sexed too. i dont know what mine is either





thanks!

[joshrm115]

Is yours super shy or is it really active??

[kribensis12]

I want to say female, as the male should be alot more colorful.

[shroob]

I'm gonna say Josh~ female and Ficious male.

The way to tell is the gill spangling, females having alot and males having less.
Josh's was a tricky one as the photos are abit different, in the first 2 gill spangling is fairly limited but on the last photo it seems to cover alot more, so I'm gonna say female.

For Ficious pretty clear lack of gill spangling so I'm going male.

[joshrm115]

I got it this big but I have had a little 1 inch one for about 3 months and I have the same problem

[foley69]

they must be slow growing he has grown chunkier since i got him and maybe a bit bigger but he hasnt grown much

[Ficious]

Yea mine eats like a pig but doesn't seem to have grown much...just beefed up a lil

[foley69]

how big is yours ficious

[benmate]

it looks like a male because
it is more colourful

[foley69]

i think i have my sexing wrong i have just noticed my JD is very colourful he is only 4" so i cant reli tell i initailly thought he/she was a female

[joshrm115]

Are your guys JDs really shy?

[lewismate]

hi peeps id say its a male bacause of the colour

[foley69]

nooo my jd is the least shy fish in my tank he is constantly swimming round when i am in the room he owns the tank so thats probably why although he was when i first got him i just think they need a little time to settle down and not just claim territory but the tank well mine has anyway and i hope mine is a male i love the males more

[joshrm115]

Yeah it looks male

[foley69]

yeaaaa hope it is id love a male i always wondered because its always had intense colouring compaired to female pictures cant wait till this bad boy gets 7-8"

[joshrm115]

Yeah he has allot of color for his size.

I just wish mine was a little more active.
