Looks like it is an L001, now got to figure out if he is this fat because he was fed so much or he is not healthy....when my cousin brought these fish to me the water was brown tinge color so defintly wasnt healthy imo, well now its in a 50 gallon with geos an an fx5 filter...hopefully its happy for now.
 
You said that your cousin's water had a brown tinge color to it. If he had driftwood in the tank (for the pleco), that would cause that.
