Hi!! i'm a pleco keeper in Thailand and I got this 6 small plecos size 1 inch from the import shop in my country
it was told to be L190 but I don't think so.All my 6 plecos have black line around the two eyes
and some have red line go over the fin tip and tail and half of the body are spotted pattern like L330 half spot.
now the belly of the pleco still white so I can't see the belly pattern yet
sorry for the crappy pic.

This pattern is quite normal for juveniles. Let it grow some months and it will turn into a "normal" patterned P. nigrolineatus.

It's a (L190), or it may develop into a (L330).
