How to breed Clown Plecos?

[aquaman123]

I have been searching for ages on the internet just trying to find good info on breeding/sexing clown plecos. I have 2 clown plecos and am planning on getting more soon (roughly 3). I was wondering if anyone could give me tips on breeding/sexing my clown plecos. here are some pics.

Maybe it's me but pic 2-4 doesn't look like a clown to me

you are right it has more of a dotty look then a line. any thoughts of what it could be??

L162//L104, they are both the clown pleco, mine has distinct bands, with most parallel to each other, but some are perpendicular on his head.....i have seen some with spots...but that was just on google...

I'm also trying to breed these guys. Just eye-balling it on these photos I'd say the first picture is a female and the other is a male. The nose is shorter on the female and longer on the male. As for breeding I've had no luck but it hasn't been long and I'm not going out of my way for it, just kind of hoping it happens. Lots of bog wood and try feeding them frozen blood worms once or twice a week.
