Male or female Jag

[Wildcat157]

Just looking for first impressions on this 4.5" Jaguar. Male or female?

I’ll guess male. Lots of spots on the gill plate and fins, lacking a solid lateral line, I feel good about my decision.

Agree,
female lower gill plates are often fairly devoid of spots, like these shots of its close cousin motaguense,
female

male
