Silly question I guess but let me ask anyways.

Do you vent JD's as you would a Frontosa?
I ask because I have vented my Moba several times but never tried with the jacks???

Thanks, Arkangel77
 
Most fish are vented the same way, especially cichlids. OO female Oo male.

thanks bro - at what size do we think a jack could be vented? I know each fish is different
 
Why would u vent a Jack Dempsey? they are easily sexable by just looking at them. Females have a blue "beard" and less spangling on their bodies. Males are the opposite.

I guess I should have stated that I am looking to vent EBJD - Genotype's and regular JD are easy to sex at a glance - you are correct
 
Oh ok.
