An L083 then.

If I remember my L numbers correctly, yes I believe it is L083.

Agreed. A beautiful one, too. I used to have a gibby that was over 20".

I wanted a pleco but not the common black one. I gave 15.00 for this guy.

Not a bad deal. I had paid $20 for mine back in 2009 when he was about an inch long.
