you can tell the gender now by venting...any other way is just a lucky quess with some... but as the jag grows more characteristics will show.. longer fins and pattern etc...different shaped head.. how big is he/she now.. looks like another couple of months and you will see some significant changes... post pics up again.. very good looking young jag either way..this pic shows the what to look for in venting a cichlid to determine sexView attachment 370159

Great post. I agree, It looks like a male judging from the pattern on his body. But, venting will be a 100% sure shot of knowing.
