[freshfishing]

Looking for up to 3 or 4 L56Y (Yellow) Xanto Plecos - Ready to buy.

Thanks!

Do you have the right L number?

Pseudancistrus sp(l056)

[freshfishing]

Yes, it is the yellow variant of the L056 - Google Image Search "Xanto Pleco" and check them out.

I would say you are looking for

Parancistrus aurantiacus

.
This fish doesn't have an L number.

Wrong L number, wrong species, wrong genus!

The fish you are looking for is

Parancistrus aurantiacus

. It doesn't have an L number.

EDIT, looks like you beat me to it Dave!

Thanks Dave/racoll! This is some of the info that I was looking for.

Wondering, is there a yellow variant of L056? I have found the Parancistrus aurantiacus that I am looking for mis-labeled many times as L56Y or L056 as the yellow variant.

Thanks again.

As there are no registered keepers of this fish,

Pseudancistrus sp(l056)

, at Planet Catfish and no specimens pictured in Ingo Seidels' books, mislabeled is putting it mildly!

I don't believe there is an "xanto" form of L056.

Thanks Dave. Yes - There are a lot of mis-labels out there, unless you are looking for L56Y - Audi car paint....that is probably the only correct one!

You´re right, there isn´t. Parancistrus aurantiacus doesn´t have anything to do with Guyanancistrus/Pseudancistrus sp. "L 56".
This number was published by DATZ correctly in 02/1990, but GLASER & GLASER (1995) assigned this number a second time.
