Argh that sucks, sorry to see hear that...love my Jag, was sold to me as a male and most of the indications have me leaning to a male, really need to do a vent check to be sure.

But in saying that, I have gotten lucky with the personality with raising it with the Oscars and JD...as for me....want's to kill me I tell you lol, will not let me clean the tank without trying to rip my hand apart or even get close enough to vent it, might have to do a in tank net check...but it will go mental and don't want to stress it out to much.
 
if you notice the first pic she was with my oscars, can see in the back ground. I did not move her till decided to mate her, she did fine with the oscars plecs cats, BKG. Female allot more even tempered than males.
 
Well here we go, got the pic I finally needed for confirmation of sex... first I vented couple of days ago and it had 2 holes one big one small, and if i'm correct that's a male fertilizer tube that's now on display for the next month or so...also it just ramped up in aggression big time.20180718_145820.jpg

Yup male. My male has that same barb. It’s the make genital papilla. Looks like two tiny fins. I have pics of this barb on my post. Confirms 100% male. Female egg tubes fluctuate in size. The male genital papilla always looks the same. Gorgeous fish
