Which L-nbr is this

[rel005]

I bought it as L150 but that's not right.
I think it is L155 but that does not match with the cataloque.

Who can help me?

It is often sold as L155 because the fish doesn't have an L-number. One of the drawbacks of the L-number system is that some people think that all plecos need to have an L-number, and thus when something doesn't have one, they go looking for something that looks similar and uses that L-number for the fish. This is of course not correct, and the use of L155 for this fish is incorrect. I think part of the reason for this misconception is the publication of "L-number books" that don't show the fish that haven't got L-numbers. Don't get me wrong, L-numbers and L-number books are great. But sometimes people get a little too hung up on the L-number system and the fish that already have scientific names and don't have a number gets overlooked.
