Can anyone help with the sex of my Jack Dempseys??

[Afizzafox]

could anyone help with the sex of these two?? They are inseparable and look a lot different from each other yet also look a lot alike. Any help would be appreciated.

Believe the bigger one is male and smaller one is female.

 

[Afizzafox]

thank you this is what I’m thinking also

Normally females have a lower jaw that is has a blue tint.
But maybe because the lights (are they tinted a certain color?) , maybe the blue substrate, but everything looks a oddly green, kind of washing true colors out.
I edited your pic a bit to try and get a better idea, but it didn't really help.

The larger appears to be male, but unless you can see more blue than the pic shows, I can't tell about the smaller one

So the little one has more solid blue underneath his mouth if this helps.

The only reason I’m really even asking any of this is because I’ve had my littler one almost a year and she hasn’t connected with anyone. I just bought the big one named (bowser) btw a few days ago and as soon as I put him in the tank they attached automatically and inseparable ever since. Found this a bit odd

Looks like a pair..

Looks like a pair..

Kinda what I was thinking on their behavior alone

Big one is def a male.. I'd lean towards female for the other based on looks and what you're describing their Interactions like... but the pictures are a bit blurred and washed out so hard to tell for sure

Here is a female JD in breeding dress, you can really see the blue beard we talk of
