please help ID, orange lyretail pleco?

[Decker504]

I bought 4 of these at a LFS, because they looked so different. It was listed as a Orange Lyretail Pleco LDA 028, but it doesn't seem to match up and can't find much online. I also got a l288 red tiger pleco, but this specis looks similiar but is definitely ot as red or bright as the red tiger, the tails have different marking and this species has a very intricute pattern on they faces. I bought a bunch to try and start a colony...


Does anyone know what they are?

Panaque sp(l397)

looks like a good match, but so do many others, and these are pretty tricky to tell apart if you don't know where they are caught.

See:

,

L169

,

L306

and

L374

Thank you so much, most of the photos look exactly like my 4 beatiful little fish. The LFS had one left, so I'm going to give them a call and see if they can hold it for me. I'm going to order some wood chews and other breeding supplies and see what happens.
