Well thanks guys. They are probably both normal jd's. Can looks determine if they carry the blue gene?
How do you sex jacks again? The males have no spangles on jaw right and females do? I forget. Non the less the one with all the pearls and spangles on the body looks bg

You can't determine if they're BG just from looks. You have to breed one with an EBJD to be sure.
You actually can to an extent. Blue gene jack dempseys tend to have more spangles on the body that normal jacks. This isn't 100% but can work.

Actually you can't, which is exactly why it's not 100% accurate. Some Jack Dempseys has more color, more sprangles, more whatever than other Jack Dempseys - the species is highly diverse, and comes in so much diversity. The amount of sprangles on a JD has no relation to whether or not it is a BGJD or a normal JD, which is why whilst sometimes a BGJD has more sprangles than a normal JD, sometimes a normal JD has more sprangles than a BGJD. Simply because it has nothing to do with the presence or absence of the electric blue gene when comparing BGJD and normal JDs. That's why it's not 100%, or even close, and that's why BGJDs with more sprangles than normal have more sprangles just out of coincidence (or due to the specific strain having lot's of sprangles).
