Nice pleco

I think its a Vampire pleco, but not sure which L-number.

 

[Wet Whiskers]

He looks like an L240, but the L107 is very similar and they are wondering if they are just two far ends of the same species.

BTW, nice fire eel.

I'd say maybe Leporacanthicus galaxias or galaxy plec. Formerly L029. Here's a link

hmmm I dont think its a L240 cause usually by the time they get that big they loose most of their white dots, but then again he might be special!

L240 for sure, can never be L107, look at the mouth!

Damn beat me to it!!
That would have been my guess too mate. Hes a real stunner, looks exactly like an L14 but black. You must have one of the best collections of L-numbers in the UK by now, especially with that new addition of yours

Is that a Tigrinus snout on the right hand edge of the first pic? I didnt know you had a Tig!

 

[Lambrakopoulos]

L029 nice pleco.

I have seen this in the LFS close to me, and I believe it is in the bushy nose family (obviously not a bushy but in the fam) I think its a L240 maybe? I can't remember the exactly the number but if it has sharp spiny whiskers at the side it is in the bushy nose family portion of the tree.
