They are not
Hypancistrus debilittera
(L129).

They look like
Ancistrus cf_cirrhosus
.

Appreciate the feedback from both of you.

Starting to dive more into plecos but I've noticed that there seems to be a lot more mislabeled fish these days. I've noticed the same thing occurring with the West African dwarf cichlids as well.

I spoke with the hobbyist who bred the fish and these are the parents of the above fish. She mentioned that she had kept the below fish with a pair of L144s and doesn't have any veiltail or brown BN plecos at all. Just wondering what some of you may speculate what occurred. Appreciate the feedback.

EDIT: The above two pictures are of the supposed parents.

They certainly are not offspring of
Hypancistrus debilittera
.

Ancistrus sp(4)
...L144 in the hobby isn't the 'true' L144.
This fish appears to be a form of Ancistrus cf. cirrhosus
.

That said, the babies are from her Ancistrus.

Podría ser Ancistrus sp. "Río Paraguay"
