Did you know fantastic help is an anagram of Planet Catfish? This forum is for those of you with pictures of your catfish who are looking for help identifying them. There are many here to help and a firm ID is the first step towards keeping your catfish in the best conditions.
Recently bought these as L015 but looking at the pics on the catelog i'm not thinking they are...although as a said i suck at ids so they well could be. Will get other pics today if needed. From what i was told they are about 4yo, and about 10-11cm TL. And how do you sex these fellas?
this is the suspected male

Despite the lack of Odontodes, I'd say it's likely that both of your fishes are males - I'm going by body shape alone, which unfortunately isn't a very good way to determine this - but I'd give it "75% certain" at this point in time. Feed them properly and see what they look like when they have grown a bit.
The two have different head shapes and the former has a preopercular region that is medially wider than the postopercular region, and is threfore, without a doubt, a male. I might be wrong, but at least that's the way I see it.
