[Experiment397]

ok so i bought this jack dempsey as a female for a young pair, but then it looked male then female, and know it looks kinda male??? what is it...

ok so what is my jack dempsey???

 

[McFall]

definitely a female, the smudged blue coloring on her gill plates gives it away

ok so then is the one in my profile pix, he is also in my album "my fishies", a male???

 

[Adhlc]

ok so they are both female... that sucks. ya i thought she was pretty she has more blue than normal and is the really dark color. she is soooo shy though, it took me 5 days to get the last picture and the first one. so do i need to get rid of the other female???

You've got 2 females there. All you have to do is get 1 male around the same size or a little bigger and wait til he choose a female, then get sell the other to lfs or wherever bc the male would probably kill her defending the eggs. The males dont have blue all over the gills like that. Plus the dots under the eye are round spots, not smudges.
* Your avatar is just a litter colored female.
* Id get these fish into my 120 asap.

ok thanks fishingout i actually decided not to breed yet, maybe in 2 or 3 years. also if i bought a male ebjd would i get some sweet looking fry even though only one parent was the ebjd? also if i moved one of the females out of the main tank what size tank would she need if it was just her?
