Pleco ID needed.

This one was sold as L-002 - tiger.
It's hard to get an idea at the store and even after the fish is in the tank for a while as they tend to change color quite a bit - especially on light background.
The facial spotting is throwing me off and the coloring of the fish when set against the wood seems to remind me of L-015 or L-069

Looks more like L205 to me.

Looks like the fish that used to be referred in hobbiest liturature as Peckoltia brevis.

Not sure of the taxonomic status of this species however. (L-205?)

It looks like the L-205 as Silurus sudgested and they are imported from Peru if you can look that up.

Thanks guys,
it looks like an L-205 indeed.

They guy had one more that looked pretty washed out so I didn't bother.

He also had some listed as L-015 but again they looked quite large (5") and not nearly as colorful as the ones Janne posted pix of,
Thanks again
