what are some of the characteristics of a female jag??

 

[siebertn]

The males have allot of small marks all over the body without "stripes" across the sides and the females have bigger markings with the stripes across the sides

looks female. her lighter color and less spotting below the dark line are usually the traits of a female

male=no stripes just dots and more golden, femals=stripes
