Hi! I have a 6" Green Phantom. I know they are hard to sex but does anyone recognize any characteristics that hint one way or the other on this one? My Gold Nugget and him/her have been hanging out together all day! Sorry I dont have underside pics.

I know it's hard but you need top and bottom shots for sexing plecos.

Most females are fatter then males

Very fat. Finally got an underside shot. My male bristlenose is very fond so I think its female. We call her Lucy.
