I need a few IDs Please

[Ria]

Pics 1 & 2 - Can anyone tell me what kind of Royal this is? I'm thinkin L-191 but I am no expert and I really dont know how to tell the differnt Royals apart.


Pic 3 - I'm thinking this is a Chocolate? Any one know an L number for him?


Pic 4 & 5 - And what about this guy. He looks like a common to me but I would like to know his L number


I understand these pick might not be goof enough for a proper id. If better pics are needed I will try to take more tonight.
Thanks

the royal isn't L191 as it doesn't have the "dull eye", yours is most likely L190
you are probably right with the chocolate pleco, these dont have an L number as they have been scientifically described, they are Pterygoplichthys scrophus, although, it could be an albino Pterygoplichthys pardallis, if the eye is red, its the albino, if not, its the chocolate.
the 3rd pleco is a common, probably Pterygoplichthys pardallis

LOL. I'm bad at this. ummm...they're all plecos! Ok fine, I'm sorry. Ignore me.

I'd think its a 190 too.. and not 418 xD

Thanks guys. I am just getting into plecos and I'm trying to learn all I can. I love these guys. You guys are right on about the royal being a L190. And Scats seems right on about the common being a Pterygoplichthys pardallis. Does anyone know of a site that can tell me differences between the different royal plecos so I can learn to ID them? I tried google searching but I'm not coming up with anything good.

Also I have a quick question that I dont want to start a whole new post for
My lfs has a 3 inch Gold nugget for $25. Is this a decent price?
Thanks
