L144 Black eye Lemon Ancistrus - pics

I hope that 1 is male and the other is female so that I try and breed them. Below are the pics so you can help me with the sexes. I also have another but unfortunately I could not take pictures of him because he/she was hiding (no bristles at all but the smaller between them all).

This is definitely the male with bristles



This I hope is the female but it has bristles not much as male so if someone can help me out. (i have 2 common ancistrus and the female has some bristles just like this)

I could be wrong as identifying can be hard - I think both of these could be Male.

1st for sure Male
2nd as mainly bristles on the top lip at the minute so as far as I know that resembles male, some females do have fewer bristles,
though you might get better advice from a L144 breeder as I do not breed this type of fish

hehe ok then will wait for someone else to answer me

Thanks though

hi like wolverine said i think you have 2 males there number 1 is definately and i think 2 is aswell as i breed these myself and my females have no bristles on them i hope this helps you.

I think I have a female.

This is my 3rd





The only problem is that she is smaller than the other although I bought them at the same age/size 1 year ago.
