Need brighter pics but the left one looks female because of the blue around the lower jaw, hard to tell from the pictures though try to get a closer pic with flash on and for the one on the right i cannot tell at all. If you look in my thread http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=200615 you can easily see the difference from the blue on the lower jaw.
the general rule for sexing jd:s is that females got lots of blue dots on the cheeks, like a beard. So your fish looks like a female to me.
+1 female. can't really tell from the images, but if the blues around the lower cheek are are blotchy- then you def. have a girl.
That looks like a female to me. Females are usually darker and have a lot more blue on there cheeks.
