Are you 100% sure? I was on the fence...I see a couple beans, but overall color, and shape made me go with male...


Modestman knows WAAAY more about JD's than most of us, just for the record...If he says female, we are all wrong...
 
I would also say female,although the first pic does look more male
 
its a male females hav a blue pearl on there gill plate
males have splodges of blue and other colours like yours :)
beautiful male by the way
 
well i have read that most males will have a pale or pinkish spot below the gills and females have alot more blue and green in that area so my guess is female, but im new to this so i have no clue
 
yea i see. i bought two dempseys from petsmart and i told the guy i wanted a male and female. when i brought them home and put them in the tank, i realized that the larger of the two was terrorizing my oscars so i took him back. I never knew the gender of either of them but i always thought this dempsey was a female because it is much more peaceful than the one I had to bring back
 
its okay i had n 8" dempsey male who was so skiddish for months nothing bothered it or anything so yer ... its just fishes personality your oscar would of out grown them and ate them lol
