Females have more blue on the lower gill plate then a male.:D

Oops! Haynchinook is right, female. I got it backwards, I am at work so typing and thinking while working is sometimes hard. Lol!!

Here is a pic of my female that recently passed :(

Top one is female cause of the dorsal fin being more rounded and it kinda stops. Males have longer fins that flow to a point. I have a bunch of Jacks and thats how mine look. The bottom one also maybe a female.

Maybe if you could post a side profile pic of the fish, I maybe able to tell for sure.

If I were to keep one, I would definitely keep the one in te top pic. Looks like the bottom one has been thru WWIII!!
 
both males.
 
Top female but picture is not the best

second one...no clue...a stressed out battered fish
