That EBJD is most likely a male as females rarely survive. 9.5 out of 10 EBJD's are males. It's very common to only get male EBJD's in a fry as females die out soon after hatched. I've raised more than 10 EBJD fryes. And again, your regular JD is a male. Males present that line around the gillsand those dots around the eye are more visible. Also the female doesn't have speckles along the whole body like that and rarely have green lips, that's a very dominant male presenting very nice coloration, a good pick! That JD looks exactly like the male JD I currently have. People might think it's a female because it also presents a few blue spots on its cheeks but on females those spots fuse together and are predominantly blue, males can have blue and greenish spots or none at all.
 
99% sure ... male...:popcorn:
 
Put your votes in :banghead: good luck with your jacks, love mine and happy he has been with me for 6+ years, great fish, now if he will only breed with my flowerhorn ill be super happy for him.

Seee?? I told you doomidie you didnt believe me when i said 9/10 ebjd are male on another thread.
 
This is definitely a tough one to sex from pictures. The body/fin structure seems male to me, plus the coloring on the body. The face does point to female but it doesn't have enough of a beard to convince me. Any way to vent the fish? That really will be the only way to be 100% I'm leaning toward male on this one. Very nice fish either way!

The EBJD is most likely male. Like a previous poster said 9/10 EBJD are males.
