Nah, davo was right...L204 for sure.

The broken lines, and color of the specimen shown are more indicative of L104 than L204. Clowns are also far more common than flash plecos. Easiest way to find out will be to wait and see, if it is an L204 it will get larger.

The tail shape to me suggests L204... much more elongated unlike L104s.
I think the body shapes are different between the two also. JMO.
Agree the colour is more like a L104 but that could be down to stress more than anything.
How big is it anyway?

I'd bet my entire collection that it is L204.

Judging by the body mass of that royal, which is around 9-10'' if im correct, the fish in question is already too large to be clown.

I didn't even pay attention to the bucket shot. After looking at that, he is definitely L204, but I'll still take your pleco collection from you.

lol, It took me 4 years to build up my panaque collection and I still don't have anything noteworthy....if I lost it i might not find anything good locally for another 5 years.

so noticed last night (it appeared out of nowhere) all three plecos have ich. It had to have come from them because they were the only anything we have added to that tank. Today all the fish except 2 have it the plecos have it the most. Any suggestions? Added quick cure but stopped because I was told its worse for them. So currently bumping temp to 85 and adding salt, and hoping for the best. Included in this tank is a pecock female, and electric blue male who had fry. The fry is in a fry basket. Im guessing we are going to loose the fry.
