What sex are my dempseys?!

[Melynnda88]

I have 5 jack dempseys and I don't know how to tell which are male and which are female. I have posted a picture. At the bottom there are 4 of the 5 jacks, the one missing is on the left in the upper part of the picture. The 3 lighter ones in the bottom usually stay lighter, but the large one on the right at the top can get just as dark as his friend next to him at times. I would appreciate any insight. I have been reading so many different things that ok left kind of confused...

To sex, males aren't supposed to have blue dots under their eyes. Females have blue all under their eyes. Good looking fish!

Look at the lower jaw males will have blotches instead of a full beard
