Looking like a male managuense to me.
The array of spots, (ass opposed to larger blotches) especially on the jaw area, are my clues, although a male head profile, has yet to develop.

I was thinking that too. Looks a lot like my male

Exactly, the presence of spots on the lower jaw would have had me believe she was a male were it not for the fact that she had laid eggs 3 times the past 10 months. In fact, she's quite fat now with what I presume to be her next batch of eggs.

Unless, can jaguar cichlids change sex from female to male midway through their growth?
 
Hello Z Zhen-Jou ,
That's a very attractive Jaguar you have there. She is looking like she needs a boyfriend. Lol. Is the 125g her forever home? Is she living solo?

Thank you Cich Mind Cich Mind . I don't intend on breeding jags ATM, too prolific and I don't even know what to do with the fry. Moreover I don't even have the space for a male haha

Yep, the 125 is her forever home, and her only tankmate is an 15 inch ornate bichir.
