Zebra pleco sexing help Can you guys spot how many male and female in this group?

[Loc Tran]

I just took a photo of this group of my current zebra pleco and try to see if I have any female. So far all I seen is one female and the rest probably males. Let me know what you think. Oh, and my sixth zebra is current in separate tank for medication so I can’t show you guys the fish yet

I added to your title so folks knew what you needed more clearly from the title.

I did use their method by checking the fish’s odontodal and find out that I have 2 females and 3 males. Haven’t check the one in hospital tank yet

Far left and far right look female to me, the other 3 look male.  Does that match your odontode assessment?  I can’t quite make out odontodes from the pic, I’m only going by body / head shape.

I think you are right. Those two have shorter odontode than the other 3
