I need help for sexing my mango pleco if possible.
There are 2 of them:

i've never owned any but a friend of mine has a couple... so im guessing only...

3rd pic looks to be a def male....

1st and 2nd pic doesnt show anything to make me think they are males but that doesnt mean they are females...

sorry i'm not much more help

im thinking 2 males now!

They both look the same (assuming there are two different ones in those last 4 photos), and both a bit hairy, so I'd agree they both look male.

Thanks. How can i recognize a female?
In order to search for one..

female will have a narrower head and less hair on pectorial fins (if any) and should be a bit more rounded in the belly region....

easier to tell males and females when the fish are together as you can compare features much easier...:thumbup:
