I'm just wondering if you guys could help me with sexing my JDs. I've got 3 right now and 1 EBJD. My plan is to have one of them pair up with my EBJD. The remaining 2 JDs will either go back to my LFS or to a friend. Let me know if these pictures are alright. I also have a video of them...not sure if that will help. I can post it if it will. Thanks!:) Sorry for the pic overload lol

Pics 1, 2 and 3 look male, but it's from a bad angle. I'm going to assume that pics 1, 2 and 3 are of the same fish because of the similar placement of it's spots. Pics 4, 5 and 6 look male to me. The picture of the last JD has a blue beard, so it might be female... but it's hard to see.

Thanks! 1-3 are of the same fish, pics 4-8 are of the same fish, and the rest are of the 3rd fish. I'm pretty sure the first fish is male too as he seems to be the most aggressive. He likes to chase the other two off their food. He seems to chase the fish in pictures 4-8 more than the other fish so I figured that one was male as well. The third fish is the lightest in color and is also the smallest of the three. This one and the other light colored one will sometimes chase the EBGJ but the first(darkest) fish seems to leave him alone. I'm not sure whether my EBJD is female or male though. Thanks for your help!
