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...

from the head shape, i would say all males...

this should help...

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?
