What gender is this pleco

[Adog99]

So I got this pair of albino Bristlenose Plecos and this is supposed to be the female although I am not sure if it’s a male or a female what do you guys think.

Unless you are trying to breed, I don't think it really matters. lol. I usually come up with a name and gender them that way. But if you to find out still, try this page. Hope it helps. https://animals.mom.com/determine-pleco-fishs-gender-4100.html

I'm leaning toward male, but a head on shot would help as it looks like there are more bristles than a female would have

I wish I had seen this a bit earlier and I wish I could send a head picture but I have just left left town for a bit. Thx for the info tho and I am still on the edge aswell into which gender it is.

Females BN tend to have less/smaller bristles than males. It's also said that females have bristles mostly near the front of their face/nose while males will have bristles going further up their face/head.

I'm leaning towards female at this point. Bristles seem pretty sparce towards top of face/head and not very big.
