Assuming you believe the capture point of Rio Xingu, I'd say that Janne's confirmation of the ID is as close as you can get to a certain confirmation.

Yea I definitely would assume they're L100 and judging by the available pictures I found online, it's flawless to my eyes. And with the collection point matching as well.

Great photos and lovely fish- I'd agree with Mats that they'd be a useful addition to the Cat-eLog

What was perhaps missing in my explanation was that Janne has bred more species of pleco than I have ever seen - so he's more capable of giving a correct answer than most people on this forum.

And if the placement in the Cat-eLog turns out to be wrong at some time in the future, as science and hobby knowledge increases, we can always fix it up.
