You can't, and you probably don't need to. Otocinclus catfish are very hard to breed. When they do mate, it's usually because of luck rather than the fish keepers' efforts.
Just enjoy them while they live. They're very hardworking, and will be very happy if they have other otos to keep them company.

relies upon on how previous your birds are. in the event that they are youthful this is on occasion complicated to tell. As they become older and are waiting to mate, the male has a bluish cere. it is the band , merely above his beak. Or on occasion looks bluish, pink tint. The hen for valuable has a easy colored cere. especially a beige coloration, merely above the beak. If the single you call white, turns to a comfortable beige, then for valuable this is a hen. not elementary to tell whilst they are first hatched , yet via the six week previous degree , then you definately could nicely be extra precise on determining the intercourse.

You really don't. In general, the females may be slightly larger or plumper due to carrying eggs, but there aren't any differences that are as obvious as there are in other species.
