First off can anyone tell me the sex of my buddy here?

Also i have read online the EBJDs are a bit nicer than GJD. If my EBJD is a girl do you think she will be fine with a few rams? thanks guys.

Welcome! I don't know for sure if they can sexed at that young age. I have heard a lot of people saying it's hard to get these guys to grow past 4" or so without them dying. I'm sure somebody with more experience than me will chime in soon.
 
For sure harder to sex at a smaller size. In my experience they are a lot of additude with not a lot of muscle to back it up... Here's a picture of my old male... And below my female. Difference being my female didn't grow too much.

Nice EB there!

They can easily get more than 4". Very hard to sex until breeding.

Rams would be okay only until the EB gets larger, then I don't think that the Rams would fare very well, unless you had plenty of hiding places.
 
Yep he sure is. The picks don't do him justice, he has awesome black trimming on the fins. Its cool to see his patterns change, a lot of his black has faded away. He is still playing nice with the rams as well. When the see him coming they know to stay clear. Almost got him to hand feed today.
