L66 or L333

[aandz87]

Can anyone tell be the best way to tell the difference between L66 and L333. I currently don't have either but I am thinking of getting some 66 and want to make sure I don't get 333. So if there is an easy way to tell for a beginner that would be great.
Thanks for any help

66's have a forked tail and 333's have a straight/arc type tail....

Pretty sure if you do a search of the threads you will find more on this topic including pics that demonstrate, among other things, the difference in the tails as Johnno has mentioned

I heard that, mong many criteria, the key to differentiate MANY PLECO species is the body shape.
