The pattern is more reminescent of L103 than it is of L015.

Don't look like L15 to me. L103 is a Venezuelan mini Panaque, so it is a fairly unlikely import but does seem to be a pretty close match.

Hi!

Maybe im totally off but could these be L243 with very nice markings? As L103 seems to be very unlikely to be imported.

greetings

Hi!

Yeap L243 could be the one!

THe fish also is similar to L09 but slightly different still....
Seems like there is something like a Peckoltia vittata group a bit like Panaque nigrolineatus group
Cheers

Hi!

Imo not L209 as to my knowledge the pattern rather breaks up and gets more mixed up with age rather than getting straighter.
