Tiger Pleco?

[Plecofanatic1989]

My mother bought a couple of "Tiger Plecos" from one of my LFS's the other day and I can't wrap my head around it. I was thinking Panaque, but I can't really see the teeth and the upper "lip" is shaped more like Pseudacanthicus/Oligancistrus. I was searching the Cat-eLog going through each genus and determining after looking at a species or two that my fish isn't of that particular genus. Then I reached Hypostomus. H. plecostomoides has a similar mouth IMO and then I saw H. margaritifer and gave up... disgruntled .
So my best guess is that they are Panaque L002/Panaque changae. I have no clue. Any ideas??

That looks very much like my L002s, the lines on the head and the dentition look the same, just a bit stressed at the mo. They're beautiful little fish when in condition, but I've found mine to be very aggressively territorial.

Okay, so I'm not insane!! Thank you for the ID. The dental arrangement looked similar to my P. nigrolineatus, but the teeth seemed so tiny that I couldn't tell if they were indeed "spoon-shaped".
Thanx again. I'm relieved to know what they are. Now to replecate the environment... .

I would agree with

Panaque sp(l002)

.

By the way, the Badis badis is actually Dario dario.
