Is this a L260 or L411 and female?

Hi everyone,

Here is another case for you, this time with a L260 or L411.
Which species is this and is it female or male?

[Yann]

I would say a bit stressed female L260

Cheers

I go with Yann.
IMHO the spots between the lines say L260

edit: pls keep us informed, almost unavailable species in the NL

Comparing with my breeding females, yes I think it is a L260 female as well

@jbmm, there are juvenile fish available if you look in the right places. Otherwise, if you can wait long anough I am breeding these with succes now. Had my 3 egg clutch confirmed this morning

I go with Yann and jbmm.
Mine L411 have no spots between the lines.

Thanks for the offer Jac, already got a group of queenie puppies (see my cats)
but always interested in adults and breeding/husbandry info

Thanks everyone,

I'm very happy this is a female.
Maybe I can get my hands on a L260 adult male.
So thank you everyone for laying an eye on my pleco.

Definitely a nice ripe female L260.
Wish I had about 4 like her. I lose 2 of my 3 breeder females last winter so I have only one female left and some 20 juveniles about 18 months old from previous spawns. I will have a large breeding group in about another 18 months with only the fish on hand.
