He/She is a Bristlenose Plec and is about 2 inches long now and has just started getting tiny bristles on the nose. I had read that the females dont get bristles so am I safe in assuming my Bristlenose is a he. I hope so because I dont want to change the name to Walleina.
 
Here's a pic of my Albino bristlenose. Notice the large red spot on the top of his head this is usually an indicator of being a male, although if your is not albino the red won't be anywhere near as prominent. Also my male also has bristles and my female doesn't.

Yeah, that is what his nose looks like. Thanks for the picture!
