Sexing jags

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
2 males.
 
Ok cheers. I was hoping the one in the background was female, due to the colour difference and the fact it has verticle stripes usually. I had a pretty good idea that the smaller one in the foreground was male.
Thanks for that

if not 2 males, the one in front is a female, not in back tho.... that one has the wrong pattern but looks like right belly-shape. Other one has wrong pattern, right belly-shape Jags are tricky. take pix with close-up of the belly on each one

Cheers mate. Ill get some more pics up as soon as i can get them both out the front again
 
pics with trailing fins help. with tank bread jags can be hard to sex, they get so mixed with others. but standing at 2 males unless i see dif

lol I was just looking at my 2....I swore they were 2 males at 1st, then I realized I had a dominant female, now I think they both might be female. Jags are hard lol...until they get bigger, usually 5-8" mark, mine are only 2.5" and 3"

You from U.K. too? lol or Aussie maybe?

This guy is the smaller of the two. Sorry about the quality, but they wont sit still long enough.
The small guy is very curious of what i do and comes to the surface for feeding etc. It will also come up to me if im adding water lol
The larger of them hides all the time. Sometimes comes out at feeding time....i have to turn the main light off and the nightime light on to get it out to feed..it hides at the slightest movement or noise
