Hey other MFK,
These are my 2 jack dempsey I have. I think I have a Male, Female pair but I'm not 100 percent. I know for sure I have 1 female the larger of the 2.

Welcome to the forum!
Black one is definitely a male. The lighter colored one looks to be female, but I’m not 100% sure.

Awsome. Thank you. I believe the lighter jack is a female as well, I mainly was questioning the darker one. Iv had both of them sense they were half inch. I got both of them and different times months apart.

Black is a male because there is absolutely no blue by the mouth. Females have a lot while males have less
My male:

I remember reading that head profile is also different between the two.

Great looking Jack. Yeah the lighter one is most likely female, hopefully they pair up well and start having fry. Thanks again.

Thanks! I’m very impressed with him, considering he was a half inch runt at a petsmart.
Jacks will breed pretty easily, they should start pairing soon.
Happy to help!

Great pics! Thank you for sharing! Would love to see a pic of the whole tank :).

Are you going to breed them? (presuming you have one of each gender).

I do plan on breed these 2. They are in a 40 gallon cube. I will post more pictures of the tank later.
