1. Maybe a young female
2. Female
3. Maybe a young female
4. Male
5. Male
6. Male

Give nutritious food to the numbers 5 & 6, they seem to have sunken eyes.

hi inia,

this is the same pleco, my new one since last week... perhaps it is a problem with the foto or the very low water level as i made it...

but you all think number 2 is a female ?
Kind Regards

My opinion/guess

1 male
2 female
3 male
4 hairy female
5 male
6 male

The picture in you last post is not good enough to tell. It looks possibly snubnose from that angle..but may also be a female. You need on over head shot.
