GOOD LUCK SEXING MY DEMPSEYS!

[ShadowP]

These juveniles are only 13 weeks, 5 days old.
I think I know what sex they are, but I get to watch their behavior; you don't.
Basically this is more of a debate/game for you because these little beauties are already breaking the rules.
And here THEY are for your debate.

Subject A.

Subject B.

Subject C.


Please state your opinion and why.
I will post the results of my obsevations in two months

JD's are once of the easiest cichlids to sex. Good luck with yours......

 

[Buphy]

I'll keep thinking on it.

Male A, B+C female.

Based on experience that males are lighter at that stage, and that's pretty much it lol.

And my answer will be absolutely correct... I'm not going to sex them.
I'm simply going to place them one per day into a tank that is home to another female jack, and she likes males and is nice to them at any size. Females... well let's just say I'll have the net ready and about 30 seconds before she tries to kill them.

Eh, hem... that whole picture is lighter! Wanna rethink?
Its all part of "the game".

It's a game and a debate all in one. Feel free to guess. Part of what makes it hard, even for the experienced, is their age. These 3 will also never appear in my EBJD Pair thread either. Don't want to give advantage to later posters. That's why it says "good luck".
