It would be easier if you posted a picture of the fish in question. However JD are fairly simpe to sex. Its all about the gill plate for JD's. The males will have blue all over there body but not much if any on their gill plate. The females will have little blue all over their body but will have alot on there gills. google image search and look at a bunch of dif ones and you will quickly start to notice the difference.

Hmm according to Olunds it should be female. No blue on body but blue on gills. I always thought it was harder than that because even within the species are many dif variations.
