look both male to me also. Can confirm one thing is they are well taken care of :)

both are not that well conditioned, i think you need to pump more.
left fish look female-ish...

[desmondekker]

thanks guys.

@canopy: they're my first two plecos that i kept for a year. i must say they are very tough fish despite many mistakes i've made in the past.
