M or F Dempsey

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I am going to say it is male.

The spangles do not go low enough on the jaw to be a female, although I have seen male looking specimens that turn out to be female, the best way would is via breeding tubes.

Not all females will show color like this one.

shes crippled, but shes a female


as a jack dempsey breader you should be able to tell that scooterbucks JD is a male
 
It's male, because of the speckles on the gill plate. A female has a blue splotch of blue on the gill plate, I know because i have 2 females and an 11" Male, and you can tell who chases who in my tank. LOL
