Title: Pleco- Male/female?
Post by: Steve on April 03, 2014, 03:01:11 AM

What do you guys think, this a male or female? I'm thinking female because it has the bristols on the mouth and nostrols, but not up the nose like I have heard/read. So male or female?

Looks to still be pretty young?

If young... I am guessing a male.

If it has bristles going up the nose its male if its around the mouth its just a female.
