Jag sexing help

[beelee88]

Hi mfk im new to american cichlids I purchased 4 juvi jags about a week ago hoping to get a pair there about 3-4" probably a bit early to tell sex yet but a little help would be appreciated also have noticed 1 of the jags is pretty tattered up

 

[ehh]

My guess is the last one is a male, second is a female.

Not too sure about the first and third.

Not easy to see at this stage but I guess for What I see now look like female, may need to cmf later on.

Yeah I think the last is a male too he is the biggest and is only one so far to define a territory first and second photo same fish thanks for prompt reply cant wait to watch them grow

 

[ehh]

Oh, well, damn it haha. In the last picture the fins look more blue. That's why I said male.

its hard to tell until they bigger/older and male gets a pointed peek on the dorsal. happens at about 6 inchis. last one best guess at a male. like to see more mottling on the belly.
