I'd agree. Looks like a nice specimen too

Thanks all. I also tend to say that it is a male from its appearance. However, the alpha male always wants to invite "it" to enter his cave and
"it" seems to be interested... moreover, it loves to hang around the cave of the alpha male very often, too

But look at that thick pectoral fin.

There's too many variations, some girly-males while others are manly-females. I wish Zebra's were more like Cichlids when it comes to sexing.

Isn't it though, or guppies!

This is one of those tricky ones. It's got female AND male traits. In this case I think I would judge by behaviour and say female

Thanks andrewcoxon, Rail-7 and McEve ^.^

Let's wait and see what happens.

By the way, will homosexuality appears in Zebra pleco?

Never heard of homosexuality in Zebra

Angels yes, but that's about it I think, if you can call two females laying egg homosexuality

Must admit I'm swaying towards the slightly butch female side of things. (obviously this is an opinion not a preference...

)

I'd say it looks more like a female - for what's that worth...wider body, not much 'whiskers'. I don't know how to spell odontoeds.
