Sunshine pleco?

[DarkOne]

I've been looking for a medium sized L014 Sunshine for a while and a found some at 4" so I got 2. They've been in a 10g QT for a week now (The tank gets 50% w/c every day) and they're not quite what I think they are so I want to make sure. So what do you guys think?

When I first got them:


A week later

Though I’m no pleco expert and am probably furthest from haha I do not believe these are sunshine pelvis.

sunshines have the yellow/orange trim on the tail and dorsal fins.

I’m not sure what you have, someone will be by to help with proper identification

Not sunshine. Thinks it’s a scobiancistrus.

L082?

Not gold nugget.
This is l018 nugget

Not L014 either.
This is L014 sunshine


could be L253
Also called sunshine sometimes.

I believe it’s L253.
That would explain the sunshine common name.
