Got a jag recently mislabeled as a firemouth. He/She has put some weight on and now id like to know if its a male or female.

I think you may have to wait a little longer before you can tell.As with many juvies they dont start showng true colors until maturity.
 
im most amazed that it was labled as a firemouth,
 
Judging by the way the markings are set I am going to say a female but you won't know until the fish is at least 4 to 5 inch sometimes even then it is questionable. Post it in a couple months and I'll tell you.
