Just got this awesome pleco from my brother. He was moving to a new house and didn’t have the room so I acquired it. After a 5hr drive it’s finally at its new home. So excited. He told me it was sold as a vampire pleco but does anyone know if it’s a L029 or L240? Thanks

most likely an L240 according to planet catfish the L240 has "The unpaired fins of adult fish have very few or no spots at their tips giving the appearance of a black edge."

The white spots are kind of dull, board nose, I would say more likely L029
