Hi everyone, I just rehomed a red bristlenose, the guy said it’s definitely a male but I think it’s female based on the size and shapes.. I have a lemon male who is only a little bigger but has very obvious bristle. They seem to like each other too! So what do you think, is red a girl? Could baby plecos be on the cards at some point?? Thanks everyone ( lemon male is the brighter and bigger of the two )

What size tank are they in?

Hard to tell from the pics, but the newbie *may* be female....

If they DO breed, get ready for many, many more....
 
This is her/his underside
