Hi Thumper,
So I might be totally wrong about this but Plecos are issued L numbers because they are awaiting a scientific name...This pleco already has a scientific name..Parotocinclus spilosoma The L number is then retired...so I don't think it has a L number.....But like I said I might be wrong about it..Carol would probably know. I'm sure she'll see this and help ya out.

Here is there link

from what isee on planet catfish even the ones with scientific names still have the l#s

CHoffman

If you could give me an example of this that would be great....
All I can see is they list their family name and then either a scientific name or a L number.

Like My L-144's are a species of Ancistrus . but dont' have a specific name for just them so they use L144.... http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog...species_id=905

Here is a link about L numbers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-number

I think those Gold Spots pictured above may be Albino Common so look at L021 & L023

thumper

found out why no L# cause they are really classified as an oto!! just like the pitbull pleco!

werid huh!
