JD pair?

[skooby]

Males can sometimes have a little bit of blue dotting on the gill plate. One of my males has a whole array of blue dots there. The spangling on the body says male to me but to be sure, you should vent them.

well not all females are plain on bodythough heres my old female and look at her color on the body i would say vent it to be sure

I agree with skooby, my female has as much blue on her body as my male, except she has a beard too.

I would like to say male(left) female (right) but the blue on the left ones jaw makes me not 100%

Add a clay pot!

here is my male and i have seen others and they have almost no dotted beards, which is no dots below the mouth.
