I am getting a bit worried... I moved some things around in the tank (although to me it looks like I put it back exactly the same) and it looks like 3 of my plecos have been doing a lot of fighting... Here is a picture of one of them, should I be worried? Should I seperate them or leave them alone? Also, does this one look like a Male or Female? Thanks.

It would be easier to sex if given an overhead shot. As stated, I wouldn't worry too much--maybe a bit of QT time and some anti fungal/biotic treatment.
