Need an ID if possible.

Can someone ID this pleco for me? at least tell me what are the possibilities.
Thanks

I am no expert but it looks like a King Tiger (L-066) Pleco?

Some sort of Hypancistrus, but thats as far as I go. There are lots of various colour and pattern morphs, and many L numbers can breed together just to add to the confusion.

Heres a link to the overview of the genus http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/genus.php?genus_id=7

Thanks.

It is really confusing to go thru that list of Hypancistrus.

I have feedback of L066, L199, L287, L333 so far... to me they all look alike at this size.

 

[Plec123]

Its 199.

Its 199.

Quite possible but at that size its very hard to tell.

no way to ID it that young- now more people are doing hypans and its a very remote possiblity it might be a hybrid besides all of those L number suggestions- people ought know better not to swear on what L number it is that small/young its obvlious its too small to positively ID. Adults L numbers are the best to ID than the young.

but sweet looking little one- what's the story behind it? Planning to keep it for long term so we can find out what it really turns out to be so one of the suggestors can win the "lottery"

youve got a point... i just feel strongly that its 199 because L199 keeps that same pattern throughout its life.
