Re: sexing dempsey's?
It's all in the gill-plate. You should be able to tell when their of decent size (4'' or so).

Re: sexing dempsey's?
I was given a pair of jack dempseys. The male is quite a bit bigger then the female and has a lot more of the shinney blue spots, like twice as many. I don't know if that is completely reliable.
