Hi just wondering would anyone know what type of L number this might be? I know he is a male, from the hair on his tail and that he is fanning all the time so I wanna get him a female but I don't know what L number it is?

I hope someone out there will know what there looking at thanks so much for reading

I dont think it is an L002, the head is right but the pattern is wrong, the stripes should be more uniform, It could be a hybrid L002 and yellow L333?

i doubt they would cross BB as one is panaqolus and one is peckoltia...

i was doing a bit of research and it seems what used to be L202 tiger pleco (panaque) is now L226 tiger pleco (panaqolus)

so going back and looking at the pics again its a dead certain tiger pleco = L226 :)

i wrote the mail wrong, was more talking about a 002 cross. Anyway if it is an L226, then indeed that is a good buy, not many I have seen. cheers jk :thumbup:

thats about all a male is worth.... prob looking at couple hundred bucks for a female....

when asking for a female quote its a tiger pleco that used to be L202 but has now changed to L226 as a lot of people maybe unaware of this change as i was... it seems panaque has been substituted for panaquolus... i mean vice versa... panaque has disappeared....
