I remember reading on here that one of them is more of a hider and the other more sociable. I wanna say the L14 sunshine was the more social one. Is that true ?

My L14 is social, my L114 is a homicidal maniac.

Lmaoo do tell. Whats up with the maniac
I have numerous plecos in my 180 along with lots of wood and cover. The L114 was systematically going around attacking all my other plecos, even my royals that were triple its size. I came home to tooth marks all over my biggest L191. Pretty sure this little guy (3 inches at the time) had claimed the whole tank as his. I ended up moving him into a 40 breeder with a bunch of loaches and a few syno cats. He still dominates that tank and pushes them all around. I'm pretty sure he took an eye out of my largest yo-yo loach.

L14 much more social and out and about. I know I have (3) L114's in a 210g and I never see them, my L24 is out when food is available. My 4 XLG L14's will eat and hangout in the open in my 300g. They'll occasionally glide across the whole tank. I have 4 teenage size L14's and they can bully each other and like to hide but come out for food. Pretty sure I have another tiny L114 but again never see him.

This is all great information! I’m reassured because I have a 14 that’s only 3 inches long and it hides most of the time. Looks like it starts to get more brave as it grows!

I've got a 10" L14 and L253 both are extremely active.

I had an L114 in the past who I'd see only when feeding. Far more reclusive than any of my other Pseudas.
