Common Plec

OK st.cichlid, what of you wanted to tell the sex before the plec was fully grown??!! :lol: I don;t think commons don't get to 18" as a rule incidently. I think 12"-15" is more the norm.

What was said about the big head thing is true. The head of a male will be wider when viewed from above than it's abdomen, unlike the female who's abdomen will be wider than the head. I also know that some plecs at least (not sure if it's all) get small odontodes on the tail and sometimes cheeks. Look like little spikes.

Maybe try planet catfish for more info.
