ZebraPleco.com • The complete Hypancistrus zebra resource

Recently, I have acquired 2 more wild caught zebra, in addition with my 5pcs, now I have total 7pcs of them. I strongly believe that I have read almost all the threads about how to sex them in this forum, however, I still don't have a clue on their gender. The more I look at them and the more I read about how to sex them, the more confuse I am!!!

Behaviour:
Ind #1-4 and 6, like to hide among the rock and I never seen them in the caves.

Ind#5, the Youngster, it would ocassionally go inside the cave, but not very often.

Ind#7, I just bought it recently, and when I released it to the tank, it went directly into a cave, and I feel that it spend more time inside a cave than any of the rest.

Please, could anyone kind enough to help me sex them and tell me why you think so. Thank you very much.
