I would like my jack D sexed, no pics because i have no clue where my camera is but its very dominate with the way bigger fish in the tank, it has two black spots, right before the back fins and right by its gills, his top fins have a neon orange line.
i heard these signs point to male but i want to hear from the experts:D

PS: its 1.5 inches, what size is a good time to start trying to breed it?:naughty:
 
Sounds more Like a Gold Saum.... Not a jack.

Please try to get a picture.. and 1.5 inches is even in my opinion too small to sex ;)

at such a young age and no pics my humble opinion is that you have no chance of accurately sexing that fish.

:iagree:
 
I was told i could get him sexed with just telling the details of him but ill get pics asap sorry everyone;)

Hes definetly not a gold saum, i figured size didnt matter with sexing this fish because im under the impression that jacks dont get kok
correct me if im wrong though:)
 
Jacks also don;t get Neon Orange ;):D

Try red line across the top ;)
 
Here is the Pair I had ;)

jacks don't get kok, and both the males and females get relatively large with great coloration. I wouldn't worry too much about the sex at this point, just let that little guy grow....
