Need help sexing my six Zebra plecos

We all know how difficult it is to identify the sex of these fish, so please post a picture in here and we'll try to help you (or at least give an educated guess!).

hi

hmmm sorry to say but i guess these six are all male. perhaps number 3 can be a young female from the head but not from the budy, so i don`t think you have a female in this group

but very nice plecos...
Kind Regards
Christian

Honestly, i would disagree that is ALL males. Yes, body shape looks like male but you have to factor other identifiable traits too (i.e. ordonote on the pectorals, behaviors, cresent shape fin, and venting)... To really sex them, i think we need a close up of all these fish.

Btw, were these from Ko?
