If I am right, its a male as it has big bristles on the front of its face so it cant be egg bound. Is it acting any different than normal, I know that Plecs can get digestive disorders if not fed regular with green etc.

I dont really want to kill them if I can help it as they look quite nice in the tank, makes it look more sea like, but I would like to keep them from infesting (if they can do that), my other fish dont bother with them and visa versa
