Can someone help me out and help me sex these two fish? They're both about 5 inches roughly
The first 3 pics are one fish the last 3 are another.

Males, both of them.

My confirmed male had rounded fins a little smaller than that size.

I haven't kept jaguars in about 10 years and their shape has been really throwing me off. Because to me the first one has a female body shape but male spotting while the second one has a male body shape with female striping.
 
the old sex my jag threads. I will say they are good looking jags. But they need more room. that divider not giving them much to work with.

Yeah I'm trying to pick one so they can have the tank to themself. Do you have an opinion on if they're male or female?
 
I do, I have raised wild caught, then raised there spawn from egg. If looking for a male I would say first one. 3rd also a possible, leaves the rest to be female to me. this is my opinion of what I have seen from my experience, again others have theirs, I am loathed to sex a jag these days as it always comes to debate and the OP never gets a definitive answer.
 
Haha and I would say the opposite. The coloration and the vent of the first one tells me a fired up female. The second one looks like a young male in the making. We all got our opinions and can agree jags just rock regardless.

Uh the first 3 pics are the same fish and the last 3 are a different one. So I'm a little confused now but thanks.
