Is there a good way to tell if you have a male or female jack dempsey? Two arrived at my house today and I'm not so sure which is which. I tried to take a picture of them but it didn't come out well. Depending which is which will determine the tank I put them into. Please help anyone. Much smaller than I expected.... probably only 2in at most
 
i know that an easy way is if there is alot of blue spots on its chin, its a female and if there isnt then male
male

Thanx that helps some... kind of hard because they're so young, but I think I have it
 
I'll try and get some pix. I'll put both of them in a tank... neither have a whole lot of blue under the chin but they both seem to have some feint blue
 
left looks female and the right one looks male
