Any help appreciated from all you Jaguar keepers. I have two others and from what I was told on another thread the largest one I posted a pic of was probably a female. This one in the pic is the other larger growing one. So if it's a "she" then I may have a lagging male left in another tank to give me a shot at raising up what I wanted--a nice big boy. Any help and input is really appreciated!

Looks male to me. Large lower lip and spotting above lateral bar. But a better pic would be nice.

Apologies for the poor pic, I will get a better one up in a sec. My 48" hood went on a planted tank for better use. I thought it might be a male...

Thanks Rocksor and Drew. I am gonna divide the tank and give them more time to grow out with less stress. The Female Jag is thicker and dominant toward the male. It's a 4 foot 60 gallon they are in for now. I am planning on getting at least a 135 gallon set up after tax time for this community.
 
This one does look more male....i think that keeping them separated but still in the same tank will help development and behavior because one wont be able to physically dominate the other.....
