how do you tell a jack dempsey if its a male or female???
mine are still small but i was just curious??
 
Offer them a beer, if one accepts and the other *****es there you have it.:headbang2
 
Females will have blue speckling on the lower jaw, and males will not. If they are really small, it may be too early to tell. If you post a pic, we could tell you.
 
male in the first picture, female in the second female with the blue cheeks.
