Male or female JD

[FastFisher5]

Just curious if I have a male or female. It's around 3 1/2 inches right now. Kinda shy so that's the best pic I could get

looks male from the cheek spots, can't see fins properly though; rounded usually says female, pointed male, but there are exceptions.

Interesting body patterns, might get a clearer indication when he/she matures a little

I'm curious too. I have thought more blue cheek/Gill spots meant female. And less was male.

Male

The fin is pointed. You can tell in other not as clear pictures.

Well now I'm curious. Would this be a female then?

Google jack dempsey pair and look at the images.

Both pics appear to me to be male, the lower jaw of females are usually very blue, and I don't see that in either pic.
