Jaguar Cichlid male or female

Is it a male or female

Too small to tell, let it grow out another 3-4 inches.

Is there a reason why it was more black than the other one at the store. It was a lot more gold

Probably just a bit stressed, give it a month and it should settle down.

Will you be able to tell it’s gender within 2 months? I’m hoping for a male and if it turns to be a female I’m going to have to give it my buddy

Yeah should be able to by then, I always go off the anal fin, if the tip is pointed male, rounded female, but with jags it can be a bit hit and miss.

In your perspective does the anal fin look round or pointed? I know it’s hard to tell at this age
