well the way i tell is usually the body shape males a little more slender,females a little stockier......and the anal fin in the male should be pointerier...
I would have to disagree, the best way to tell the difference would be the color pattern. Females generally keep the striped pattern whereas an adult male will lost the strips and they will break up into spots. Otherwise when young it is hard to tell.
I've always read that the color patterns are the best way to tell. 
Not sure on this, but look at the anal fin (most) males are pointed, females are rounded.Opiate said:
Set up two small televisions on each side of the tank one with college basketball one with lifetime the fish will go to the appropriate T.V. But serriously any of the above advice is good 
tv sounds good....i would go with the anal fins..the color of the fish can all depend even the spangles and....the pattern can vary from location....so that is really that accurate..
Going by the anal fins is the generic way to tell male and female, but does not work with all cichlids. And with Jags there isn't much of a difference.
ah awesome guys, so really it's like the same way u tell with an oscar... so my jag is... ? i'm thinking male..
The reason i ask is cause i wanna get a female for him, and give it a go breeding them..however is this wise with my jardini ? or will they be fine?
