Yes L-190. Think this guy is hard to find. Try finding any of the pseudocanthicas species. Anyone know where I can get an L-160? LOL
 
Dang, I wish I could find one. The best Plecs as far as I'm concerned. Flash, yep-yours is exactly what I've been looking for, too. EXACTLY!! Does anyone know where I can find one???

Are his eyes red? It looks like it. If they are I'd say he was an L190 (which I've looked for in vain all year!) Everyone advertizes L191's (the dull-eyed Royals) as L190's. I can't find a gray/black (not green/black) L190 ANYwhere. Grrr!

sucks where i from we recently got a shipment of like 30 of um haha i just sold one of mine too
 
It's the same fish in both pictures, AddictedToMbus, right? That Royal is an L191, not an L190. See? This is the problem I've run into from vendors for a year now. They swear they have an L190 with gray/black stripes and when they send the picture, it's an L191-the Dull-Eyed Royal with olive green/black stripes. I've already got 2 identical to yours, they're 5" now.
I got this from another sight:
L190 - P. nigrolienatus is the "standard" Royal.
L027a - Watermelon or Spotted Royal
L027b - Tele Pires Royal
L027c - "Xingu" & "Tocantins" Royal P. cf. nigrolineatus "Araguaia","Tapajos" & others
L191 - Dull-eyed Royal

Hoping you can educate me on this because to me The pics I have seen of the L-027b and the L-190 look extremely similiar. What in the OP's pics make you believe it is the L-190 and not the L-027b?
