bought as 136 but more like L-82??

[Rey]

Can any members help I.D this pleco. I was lucky enough to have bought two of these beauties as an L-136, which I am doubtful since the spots are much larger, more like an L201 . But also they look much like l-82 opal spot ??

I Have kept them for about several months now, and they are shy but get along with my L-18. I have noticed the color of the spots vary with gravel/substrate color.

Hi Rey, the fish in your pic is a Hypancistrus L201. Not contradens but the Orinoco Angel pleco as shown in the back to nature L-Catfish book. Hope this helps. Mike.
