Is this a female Jag??

[cichlid2006]

Hi guys,

Just curious if anyone can help me and confirm the jaguar in this ad http://www.aquarist-classifieds.co.uk/php/detail58_255084.php is indeed a female.
Thank you in advance,

Dave

I see fishman09 thinks it is a female. I thought it was a male but it is not the greatest picture.

Not the best pic, but for 8 inch size I will say female

I don't think anyone could sex that fish with accuracy based on that photo. We've also seen some females on here who have looked male all the way to the vent! So flip a coin.... Sorry.

if you look at the spotting above and below the lateral line and espescially on the chin of the fish the dark brown/tannish colored spots point to female. males spots will be black. i have yet to find a case where this hasnt been true. the fish in question is heavily spotted which most of the time points to male but the spot coloring is not male. just something ive noticed when sexing jags and it seems to be very accurate

Yeah I agree it looks like a female from what can be seen in the picture. It's really impossible to be sure from that picture though. Something that really needs to be seen in person to be able to tell.

FEMALE...BY 8" THE BARRING SHOULD BE GONE ON A MALE AND HE WOULD BE SPOTTED UP. I HAVE TO TELL YOU THOUGH EVERYONE ON HERE TOLD ME MY MALE WAS FEMALE A FEW YEARS BACK. WELL ONE DAY I SAW HIS GENITALIA AND HE WAS DEF MALE . GOOD LUCK!

50/50 does it matter that much? a female needs a 70 gallon 4ft tank and a male needs a 90 gallon 4-5 foot tank. pretty simaler in tank size. But it does matter if you are trying to breed it.

Read up a lil more on jags man. Most people will say a male jag will need a 180 but 150 is ok by me. O its a female by the way
