Ok, Hagler was out so I figured I'd get a couple shots of him...although it looks as though he has been "Haggled" a bit so does he look like a male also??

Looks to be a male as well.

all boy jack dempseys:}

What are the best indicators? Are lots of blue spot in gill area an indicator of female? And how early can you tell what sex they are?

 

[killerfish]

i think i see a female in the fourth pic do you have any pics of it the one thats body is showing but you can't see its face

 

[RDW]

Yeah, they are all Males that you have, I've got 1 big male and 2 females myself, Jack Dempseys are great fish to have and raise.

 

[RDW]

The best indicators for jacks are that the gill plate on a female is a "blue splotch", males just have the speckles on the gill plate.

So, should I worry about 4 males together in the same tank??
