I am growing out several BGJD and one in paticular has been my favorite. Just wanted your opinions on him. He currently is about 3 inches long. Yes he normally stays this dark. Male or female? Many thanks

I wouldnt be surprise if at 6" those spangles are grown out and shows you a male jaw. Its not beard enough for me at that size to say certain female.

I got them from Richard on Aquabid (Tarmack). The fish is close to 3 inches, I also have another thats smaller is as dark. Those 2 have always been dark. What is strange to me all the fish have blue spangles on gill plate. Maybe not as much as others. (Wonder if its a Blue Gene has more spangles). I can take 20 pics with my little point and shoot Nikon and get 3 or 4 good ones. I'm working on getting a camera were I can use manually. I may even try shooting some video. The one beside the the dark one is a good looking fish also. Will try to get more pics later. Thanks for looking and for the comments.
FYI I feed NLS flake, NLS 1 mm pellet, Frozen Brine and (I know people dont recommend this, Beef Heart flake that Angels plus sell). Its very thin and about 46% protein. Richard has raised all kinds of EBJD and has been highly successful and he feeds 2 things The beefheart flake and Frozen Brine. I have cut mine back on the beefheart to about 3 or 4 feedings a week. Rest of the time frozen brine and NLS.

I disagree with female... my ebjd males tend to be darker than the females. Not saying its 100% a male, but from my experience I would not base it being a female due to it being darker than the others.
