It's hard to tell a that size, the only way to be 100% sure is to vent..

It's easier than you think, I just recently vented my female red devil for the first time..

So, how will i actually know if its male or female? What am I looking for?

I'm not exactly sure for jags but The easiest way for you would catch it, flip it over, get some clear pics of its genital area, and post them on MFK to be confirmed..

Here's the pic from when I vented my jag. Mine is male as far as I can tell. See how the vent (white part) is small and kinda pointy? That means male. If it were larger and rounder it's female.
