I don't believe in sexing jags by the shape of their fins. I have seen big beautiful males with rounded fins and females with long pointed fins. This is my first jag, I know a lot of keepers of them and so I am in no way an authority on this fish. If there is another way to sex a young jag I would like to hear it. He/she is about 2.5-3" long. The bars are starting to break up and small black spots are forming.This fish is a little bad ass. Any opinions would be cool!!!

i would say female because it has the rounded fins, and is darker than normal males but i could be worng i'm not a jaguar expert
 
i think it's a female beacause the lines should be more broken up than that, but there is a great deal of color already on the fins so i'm not sure.
what kind of plant has leaves like that? or is that fake?
 
At that size a flip of a coin is what you are looking at. Here is pic of my old Male. Notice the once distinct lines breaking as he approaches the 6 inch mark. He was also very bulky at even two inches, so I thought he might be a male.
(Also note in the first pic how ROUNDED the dorsal and anal fins look) Absolutely not an indicator of sex.
