Jaguar Cichlid - Male or Female?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm now with these pics leaning more towards the female side but I still say let it put on more size cause they can change in appearance as they get bigger

:( Alright, wanted it to be a male because I like the adult male patterning (looks more like a "Jaguar" to me). But either way its a beautiful fish. Thanks for the replies!
 
Hey guys, updating with another photo, again my camera sucks but maybe there has been some development. Still not sure with this guy. Hes turned alot darker since I have added more fish. Tell me what you think!

I would not bet my paycheck but I tend to agree male...the best way to tell is to vent....however....in pic 1 and 2 of my female note that yours has a steeper head profile developing...more spots and a much more pointed anal fin...the body shape for females is like seen in mine more rounded in the area between the ventral fins and anal fins..yours like in males looks to me flat in that area...yours is displaying partial black..bars which is more a female trait but will to some extant come and go in males...and you say yours is darker since you added more fish..The next pic is of one I saw that. i liked at a LFS that I am certain was a male..yours looks to have similar type genetics..
