    I also concur that it should be a chubby pleco. For sexing, look at the odontodes on the pectoral fin. Males have more.

    Re: Pleco ID?

    I don't quite agree with that sexing method. girls can have mustache and chest hair like boys and boy can be clean shaved or hairless like girls.

    that aside, I remember seeing some tell take sign, from their breeding organ below but I can't seem to find it again

    If you want to tell the gender through the vent, perhaps this website will help: http://www.plecoplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13537

    May I ask how much you paid for these 2 Plecos? Could be easier to identify that way.

    Those you have should be L56
    Fish keeping is not a good hobby unless you received support from your family to keep them.
