I have posted a few weeks ago with this same question. The replys that I got back were mixed 50/50. Today I have noticed some new behavior in my Jag, Is this a give away for the sexing of my Jag? Is it true that only females have the breeding tubes? Also she/he has become more aggresive towards tank mates. Has also dug out a little space. And has claimed one whole half of My 125 gal.



Here are the pics.

appears female to me. yes only females have the larger breeding tube to lay eggs. males only have a small pointed tube.

the thick ovipositor (breeding tube), belly full of eggs, and squared-off dorsal fin are what I based it on

Female, especially since its claimed half of the tank and is escavating for a nest.
