We will see in a few weeks/ a month or so. It is great that this discussion has been brought up. Now we have some good dialogue and an example of how to sex a JD for reference.
I decided to throw these pics up, the fish has not grown any, but has became acclimated to its 55 gallon suite. The dark "stressed" colors have faded. You can see the gill plate a little better in both pics.
I have never owned a fish that took to being hand fed so easily. She/he chomps down frozen brine shrimp and blood worms like crazy. I feed 3 times daily at this point, a tiny bit of HBH Baby Oscar Bites in the morning, Brine shrimp/Blood worms at lunch and the other in the evening. I am feeding about 1/3-1/2 of the "gum-drop" at a time, which works out to be as much as it can eat in 45 seconds. In the second pic you can see its distended belly, little piglet!
