L260 or L066?

Post by ExperimentLuna »

Hi guys,

Sorry, I have read the bottom post about the L066. However, I am still confused. Google search (first two picture) shows a pleco with a "thicker white line", but King Tiger (L066) looks exactly the same as well. It is being sold as L260 and is pretty small. It is maybe 2 inches long, unsure. Thanks for the help and sorry about a really similar post.

Agree, thats L 66, but not L 260.
Its also bigger than 2inch, more likely around 3-3,5.

In this species complex the lines are really broad and the contrast is high when the fish is young. Later the contrast decreases and the older the fish gets, the thinner the lines become.
