Am I even getting one id right? Sorry about the picture quality, they don't stay still long enough but if needed more pictures of better quality I'll try my best. Got them as rescue because were sold as the common "janitor fish", bearded catfish, Ancistrus sp. and were later recognized as pleco's by the previus owners

: L-134

: L-204

: L-075

The last fish is . If you got these at Ancistrus prices, you've got a good deal...

So, I got two out of three right, cool! And thank you

It was a quite quick answer
I didn't pay anything, only what driving to get each cost. Owners wanted to give them bigger home of water with right conditions

Edit:
The L-075 is "Ancistomus cf. sabaji", this http://www.planetcatfish.com/cotm/cotm. ... cle_id=159 ? Here it is known as L-075, not as L-147

Hi,

I am quite sure that the last one is an Ancistomus cf. sabaji aka L 75 (most likely). The body is too elongated for L 147. Furthermore L 147 has some stripes on the body.

A better lateral shot would make it clear.

Hi,

I would also tend more towards the L075.
cheers jk

I'm not sure... It may well be L075 (or one of the other L-numbers for this fish).

L075 and L124 bear a close resembelence....nice find no matter how you look at it...Enjoy

Thank you for trying to identifying that one little pleco. I'm glad I was able to identify correctly two of three

I did some picture research, the L-075/L-124 looks like stressed L-075 in the cat-eLog but mine has better colours. Anyway, I like them

By the way, I think you got the ID right for the other two, i.e. (previously known as L134) and .

L147 have striped fins ;) It does look like L124 from Colombia and not L75 from Brazil.
