They can be sexed, but the specimens need to be noticeably larger than that.

Re: can you sex L 18?
No, I have no personal opinion. In general, the rules are pretty much the same for ALL loricariidae (at least in the (ex-)Ancsitrini tribe or Hypostominae subfamily or whatever it is):
- Males have "hairy body" and/or pectoral fins.
- Females are "bigger round the middle region" (eggs).
Those apply to mature, well-fed adults - juveniles are much more difficult - and for any of the Gold nugget varieties, they are most often sold as juvies.
