Thats a male JD, and a very nice one too.

Looks like you take very good care of him.

I'm actually considering selling my Female JD. She's going on 3 and is about 7 1/2". If you're interested let me know. I can post a pic of mher too if you want. I'll start anther thread for her anyway.

Nice fish!

Looks exactly like my female. Males generally do not have any blotches. Females can have anywhere from nearly a completely blue jaw to just a few blotches like the one pictured. Although it doesn't have as much spotting as you normaly see. Maybe I'm wrong, but I would say female. I seem to be in the minority though.
