Edmundo,
I agree the shape looks female.
But that may change as it gets older.
What is the size of the fish?

[Gecko]

Ir, check out the thickness of the 1st spine of pect fins, thats why asked for side profile...also headshape looks male...see this, Ed for reference:

Before i rearrange this grp of hypancistruses, this fellow dun get to have any cave becos oni two cave alllowed, hence usually taken up by other bigger males. Not tat i separate them, will observe if it occupies any cave.

L173? dun make me happy leh.... L236 i contented already. Actuali this fellow n the zebra is togather........... if the breeds(provided zebra is female), cant imagine the fries......... :cool:

Unfortunately, the last disaster have sent the bravo, charlie and delta to zebra pleco heaven... :(
Only the new alpha left and the whole lot seems to be in recovery mode.
He lost most of the chew chew.
I reckon another 3 months of conditioning before I can try anything...

Ask "someone" with a whole tank of males got better chance! :D
