Bought these guys 3 weeks ago under the name L95 orange cheek pleco. I posted pics in another forum and was told that they are L152. I know there was a thread on the difference of these 2 species so would just like to know which one are these guys? Size is about 4".

One forumer from planetcatfish, who has first hand experience on L152, is now contradicting MatsP's ID. He's saying that he got L152 that looks like my plecs (dark in color and no orange) and says that small L95 should look almost thesame as an adult L95 lighter shade, orange tail/cheek and more pronounced spots. So I guess I am back to :confused::confused: again. Any input on L152 and/or L95 would really be nice?

I agree. In the very first and especially the last picture i can see very slight red in the tail. And i dont care what they say. You are not going to see the same coloration in a juvi that you are in an adult. Give your fish time and that orange will come to the cheeks.

Found this picture just through google. Very little orange and red like your fish.
