Help me identify

[DHarris]

I'm standing by juvenile L199. Here's a link to the page for L199 on Planet Catfish:
https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=222

Based on what I'm seeing there and the ones I've had in the past, the markings look right to me.

While a lot of Hypancistrus do look similar - especially at a small size, I believe the L333 would already have less uniform stripes and busier markings on it's head.

Look at like a true vittata pleco but with more white, forgot the Latin name.

Here are a couple pictures for you to compare yours to...… L333 and L199. Both are about the same size yours are and as you can see both have strips similar to yours..... The L333 is a black/yellow. There is a black/white L333 (I do not have any of them) and the strips very a lot. So looking at just the strips isn't a good way to ID them. They are some fish I bred so I know how big they are when I took the pictures and how they change as they grow..... and how different they can be from one fish to the next.
