L200 sexing

[Cristoffer Forssander]

Please help me with these L200s.
They have been on the forum a year ago... but I would like to have a second look on them again before trying to breed them.

Fish 1)

Fish 2)

Fish 3)

Fish 4)

Fish 5)



I hope that I have some females... Im quite sure that two of them are males...

All of them are 12 cm SL or a bit more

Fish 4 is for sure a male.
Fish 2 is the most likely to be female.

To me, the remaining fish are male. But they aren't the easiest to sex.

Hello

For me a very difficult pleco to sex.
I have 6 of them myself and they will change the tank soon. Then I will make some pics and get here with the same question

I agree with Mats. Fish 2 could be a female and the rest is male I think.

Thanks!

I had a suggestion that fish 3 is a likley female.
Perhaps I will bring fish 2, 3 and 4 to another aquarium and see what happens...

Would be nice to have a few more female to shoose from...

Of the fish besides 2 & 4 that I'm pretty certain about, Fish 3 is the MOST likely to be a female (or least certain male), I agree. The head shape is somewhere between what I'd say is typically female and typically male. So why not give it a shot with 2, 3 & 4 in a tank.

Just picked up a couple of L200s trying to get sex I’d on them. Only got 1 of them pictured

Hi @FiredUp,

How big (long) are your fish? Looking at the photos, since you mentioned you just got the fish, I'm thinking they'll need conditioned before you can tell more accurately.

Cheers, Eric
