Moved to "Loricariidae" section, as I don't believe there is any doubt as to the species of the fish, only which is male and female.

Looks to me like you have one male (big fish) and three females. This is based mainly on headshape and the fact that the bigger fish has big cheek odontodes.

Thanks for you help.. Hope they turn out to be 1 male and 3 females.. I have noticed the the bigger one is caving all the time and the other 3 are out and about in the tank.. so looks like your right..

Nice, Sandy! I said in chat tonight that I was going to send you $10 and have you buy me some lottery tickets. Nice female numbers!

Thanks All.. and theses came from Saul last year but the guy after having them for 1 year, he decided to sell them.. I purchase the last 4 which I was worried I would get all males, but guess I got the left overs which was a great buy for me.. Now to get them up and spawning.. Great to hear from you all
