Jaguar Cichlid - Male or Female?

[Empyreal]

Just trying to sex my Jag. Have no idea of the Age. Hes approx 4.5in now. It's my first Jaguar so I would appreciate anyone with experience being able to tell me if its a male or female. Sorry for the bad pics, not much of a photographer

Male gets my vote

To small to accurately guess but look like it could be a male. Ask again in 2 months

Ok is there a certain size that you should be able to tell by? If so what are the signs?

At around 6 is the best size to accurately guess. Females will have a plumper abdomen and more solid markings, males more stream lined and more spots

Looks female to me, the mask of the fish is more stout looking female and the bars below the lateral look like they are outlined and not fading into pepper spots. I'd like to see more pics closer up to get a better look though.

At this point I'd say female.
