Visually... No way.
Put them in a tank with other known sexes and watch there behavior. They'll show ya.

There are absolutely no visual distinctions between males and females despite the many rumors of "long or pointy fins" suggesting male. I've seen this theory fail many many times... I currently have a female Blue Dempsey that has longer/pointier fins than any standard male Dempsey I have ever seen...
If you do not wish to breed them, sexing them with certancy is unimportant. Just decide what you want it to be and say that's what it is...
If you do wish to breed there are many steps that you should be taking to make the nicest pair possible... which I won't try to summarize my opinions on in this thread

bottom line is.. u can't.. Nc_nutcase is right....
Mating is extremely hard for EBJDs.. Maturity takes a long time for these fish.....
Its better to get Blue Gene Jack dempsey to mate with an EBJD... Blue gene example varies... sometimes u can tell.. sometimes u can't..

I wouldn't say extremely hard to mate but patience is definitely of a vertue.
Here is a pic of my breeding BG male and female. Visually I can not tell them apart. The amount of spangling is about the same. The only way I can tell is by there aggression.
