George my JD

I finally got a picture of George my young JD. I'm assuming he's male, but could someone confirm that for me? He's the first picture.

The 2nd and 3rd picture are my other JD's. SWilkins-they're settling in nicely! Thanks again

Can anyone sex them for me as well? I'm still working on names for them.

Thanks everyone!

Thank you! I can't believe the color changes in these guys! It's insane (in a good way)

I'm going to start calling him/her Georgie for right now so I don't confuse him

Hmmm...top guy male...Brutus. The smaller one is even more timid than Brutus. These guys have a not-so-good history before they were rescued, so they don't have the typical JD personality, but I love them TOTALLY! I'll see if I can get some better pics of the smaller one in a few days or so.

Thanks for help with the sexing Shawnie!

I'm going to look when I feed them in a little bit. Maybe that will be less traumatic than the camera flash

Sherry's got some great looking healthy fish for sure! I've been trying to give up my first born, but no one will take her Just kidding

Okay you guys are making me blush. TY for all your compliments. My fish do all the work...I just feed them and keep their tanks clean. That little thing about giving up your first born or kids in general to keep fish....hee hee....I really got to get more involved with the EBJDs once my kids grew up.

I couldn't have phrased it better myself!

Hey, Sherry-you realize the female striped in the first picture is one of the ones you gave us-that's an excellent example of what a convict should look like-see-Shawnie's right

EDIT: Oops, female con in another photo in another thread. Sorry, but she's still gorgeous!
