Sex pleco please

[Emo3220]

Hello I am wanting to mate some of my plecos but I am not sure which gender this one is.... Could someone help identify it for me please??

Looks like a male to me, because the abdomen is pretty small compared to the body, and the fish is skinny. Females are more fat and they have more rounded bodies.

Females are more fat and they have more rounded bodies.

Don't ever tell them that if you know what's good for you.

What species of pleco is it and how big is the fish?

What are the tank dimensions (length x width x height)?

Do you have driftwood and algae in the tank for it to eat?

How often do you do water changes and how much do you change?

Any chance of some pictures of the fish that aren't showing its belly?

If that is a young common pleco, I don't think you will be able to sex it. I had one that was about 650mm long. they get really big.
