Most seem to be male.

i think they are male... the tail fin on top.. looks like a regular male JD tail..

dorsal fin got nipped, looks female to me, last picture fin is not pointed, it is twisted.

So female?

Sexing Blue Dempseys on fin shape is a worthless attempt... I have a Blue x Blue pair and my female has pointier fins than any standard male Dempsey I have ever owned.

Please ignore the above speculation...

The only good information above is that most Blue dempseys that survive to adulthood turn out to be males...

After raising and breeding many Blue Dempseys I have yet to find any relaiable way to sex them with the exceptions of judging behavior/interaction or venting...
