Sexing my JD??

[bertrannnd]

Hi, can somebody tell me if my JD is a male or female? Thank you very much!

Looks like a stressed male. A sure fire way to find out is to vent him/her. I've seen females that look like males and vice-versa.

That's a pretty female...

 

[horrifier]

looks like a nice female to me

VERY VERY Female NO doubt...Big Blue Beard and Little body spangles (or lack there of)

 

[diggler81]

Female for sure!!!

I do not think the fish is stressed. It was very pale when I bought it 4 weeks ago and now its gaining lots of colors. Its length is about 4'' long and it was not even 3'' when I bought it. It's alone in a 55 G tank, and i have no plan to upgrade my tank for now so the fish should stay in this tank alone. I added plants and terra cotta pots so the fish can hide in them, and so far he/she didn't mess them up. I will post more picture. So thank you for your answers, it should be a female then? It's my first JD, I only had angel fish before...

Female, no doubt.

Awesome, go get her a Male...very easy to tell. Find one that does NOT have the thick blue under chin, and has lotsa spangles.
