Please ID my new pleco

[stevezx2002]

I went to my LFS today and picked up a "Yellow Spot" pleco. They had a L# on the tank, but I didn't take a picture or right it down so now I forget, it was somthing like L-1xxB. the closest I have found on planetcatfish is a L142, but I am not sure.

From the picture the mouth doesn't look wide enough for it to be a Baryancistrus sp. L142, I think its a Hypancistrus but there are a few that are black with spots. It could be also be a Scobiancistrus, but Hypancistrus looks better for the moment.

Thanks for the fast responce, it looks a lot like the last picture of the L201. I might call tomarrow and see what the tank said.

It does look more like the L201, it looks like they might get mixed up frequently.

cool pleco i need one

 

[stevezx2002]

It isn't hiding nearly as much now and seems less stressed. Does this make it easier to get a confirmation on the ID?

It's not L136B or inspector. I think contradens.
