What sex is my pink con and bristlenose pleco?

[gordo96]

I want to know if my pink coanvict is a male because i cant see any orange on it. And if it is a male why doesnt it pay any attention to the female pink con and black con?

Also , when do bristlenose plecos get their bristles? I already have a male, i just want the female. I have one that is about 2"-2 1/2" .. I dont see any bristles is it a female?

Ok thank you. So if it is a male.. How do i get it to focus on the females??

If its a male, and you have for sure females, he will pair up with one and they will terrorize the other. They will pair up on their own pretty quick. When he picks one take the others out so they don't get beat up. Convicts are fantastic parents that don't allow ANY other tank mates

the bristles won't start appearing until they are about 3-3 1/2 inches ime

Yea i sure i have 2 other female convicts .. And i have bred black convicts , i didnt have to do anything to get them to breed , they just did. But the pink convict only care about food.

I have black, pink and marbled convicts, and mine all act the same. They spawn at the same times, all six pair. Once they start I promise they'll never stop
