OK so I'm growing out some jags and I dont know which to keep. They are from the same brood and in two different tanks, but not alone. One is about an inch, inch and a half larger than the other and was the largest in the tank. As of now he is about 3 1/2" and has a great spot pattern, but a slightly deformed dorsal (not to bad though. Just a small dip). Now, the smaller one has a decent spot pattern but has a lot of blue in him, even some on his throat area. So, which would keep...

If you can, grow em out for a little longer and then decide?

Or if you are torn between their looks, go on personality!
 
yeah i would wait to choos its still hard to tell wat there final colors are gonna look like...
 
i would go with the bottom..
 
They wont even come close to what they will look like in a few months. If you have to decide now, go for the one with the longer fins (elongated fins), more likely its gonna be a male.
Or just put a divider and let them grow out a bit.
 
I'm going to keep them longer. Right now I have the largest in a 75 with 3 convicts, and the other jag is in a 55 with a jag im assuming is female, and two other smaller ones. About what size do they become sexually mature? Some say 6 inches, some say 3?
 
IMO grow them out more !.. I would keep them both or choose by sex or personality .. male's are much more aggresive and better shaped and colored.. :D
