Jag is male Oscar is not possible to sex until you see them lay eggs from what I'm told nice looking fish though

Really nice looking oscar. You can exam the cloaca(anus area); if tube is puffy near the caudal fin, it's a female; if it's thin and flat, it's likely a male.

Oscars can't be sexed until you see their breeding tubes drop - If it is female, she will start laying eggs on her own in about a half year from now (if she's 1 year now.) The Jag is a female.

Both are gorgeous.Jag is a female imo from the pattern, and probably the only reason there is still an Oscar.

From what I've read about oscars the only way to sex them is near spawning time. Even venting isn't very reliable.

Jag I'm going to say is female, Oscar I'm going to say its likely also a female, well at least a 50% chance....lol
