What's all the fuzz about?
I would like to know the sex before I buy a fish, who wouldn't?
These reactions characterize why I'm not present on Dutch forums any more.

I had doubts whether it would be a L377 or LDA18
I just wanted to know, because I find it a very nice fish.

The url or code of your youtube video isn't correct I'm affraid.

Thanks everyone!

Congrats! Can't wait!

Thanks everyone.
I just want to be sure, isn't it possible it's L314?
And are the last three pics also L264?

Hi Guys,

Today I saw this pleco and I was wondering what it is.

I agree, female

Hi guys, I'm not 100% sure that these fish are L264. The dots are small, the dots stop at the edge of the dorsal fin. Also is the colour seems different. I noticed L263 grows much bigger, my tank isn't big enough for L263 :P The pleco's are between 10 and 13 cm. I was comparing with the last three p...

Wauw, what a beauty!

Couldn't the lower one be a fat alpha male?

Ohw haha, I was thinking maybe the upper one is female...
Can someone tell?

I just think the sellers knew all to well what they're were selling...
it's too coincidental

Most of them are males

Wouwie! Very beautiful!

Hi everyone,

Can someone help me to get a pair of adult L264?

Still wanted

Congrats!

I think you've two females

Hi everyone,

I was wondering about the sexes of these fish.
Can you help me?

There may not be proof of it with Hypancistrus, but we've seen these things with humans and other animals. So I agree with apistomaster. However, I find it strange Ingo Seidel writes this in his book.

L333 can have different patterns, depends on where they've been caught. Porto do Moz: wide lines and a bright yellow colour Xingu: most seen pattern Alenquer: thinner, pale lines Boda Seda: thinner, yellow lines http://www.hypancistrus.nl/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/L333website.jpg But I find it hard...

In my book of Ingo Seidel - Hypancistrus Fibel: A big problem with raising young Hypancistrus species is deformations in the headarea, called in German mopsköpfigkeit. These deformations are a problem in raising youngsters. On genetic grounds, for instance in-breeding, mopsköpfigkeit can be excluded...

Fish 1 looks like female, but I agree with ProudPreston.
Pictures from above would tell us more.
Nice fishes btw!

Well this is actually a surprise.
The seller was 100% sure that he'd be a male.

@ unungy: I haven't read about hairy females. Where can I find your article?
I'm curious.

Hi everyone,

Couple of days ago I bought this beauty as a male for my lonely female.
Can you please confirm it is a male?

Probably visiting International L number days in Germany Hannover.

Still searching...

If this was a L46, the eyes would be the same as L46.
Then the stripes on the fins are horizontal, that's correct for the L173.
But I don't know about the hybrids and L66 individuals etc.
However, I would say L173.

I agree with Simon, I think they're beautiful!
