BN Pleco Question
We recently got a bn pleco; smallish - maybe an inch long body. We're wondering how to tell if it's a male or female; and how long it takes for the evidence to show up. It's got two little horns right by its' eyes, but nothing around it's mouth, as of yet. Are those horns indicative of sex?
Thanks!!!
Thanks!!!

Goldens
They are still really leary of me...the one we've had for a couple of months isn't usually freaked out when I walk by anymore, but the other two new ones are. Rarely can I even drop worms in the tank if they are on the top, it will scare them right back down...
My betta, however, will jump out of the water to take food from my fingers . It's very cute.
Once the dojos are more comfortable with me, I will try hand feeding them .

I hold the worms in my hand and stand very still. My smallest Clown will try to wrest the cube from my fingers, the dojos all whisker me, my killie bites me ( figure he's doing it on purpose). Even my eels will take the worms from my fingers. I wouldn't try it with my tiretrack, because if she misses, I am in trouble.

Most of my fish do something weird. My bettas will eat food from my fingers, my neons will ram into my hand if I put it in the water (my neons are tiny so it feels weird), and my b. ram will tell me when she is hungry. I have a little plate in the tank, and she will wait above it untill she gets her food.
BTW fish booties would be pretty cute!
