Females have blue "beards" blue covering the lower jaw and gill plates. little to know blue spangles on the top half of the body. Males have no blue on the gill plate and lower jaw but have blue spangles everywhere else.

Ok thanks um they both have blue in there faces around the gill area and head so I'm guessing I have to females

What does this look like male or female

 

[Wobzy]

that's the smaller one

 

[Rivers2k]

Might be to small to tell for sure but looks like two males to me.

 

[Wobzy]

Really we'll now that u mention it the bigger one is nipping at the smaller one

 

[Rivers2k]

When they get bigger the colors will come in better and you will know for sure.

Now you know how to ID them if you go in and find one that is obviously female then I would swap one out, otherwise I would give it some time.

JD's are usually cheap ($3.99 by me) if you are looking for a pair I would get 2 more wait for a pair to form and then trade in the others.

Here is my juvenile female

And also a 6" or so female. The spots will come all the way down the jaw line
