No. More like a Scobinancistrus, based on the lone pic. Try to take a close up pic of its mouth.

Hi all,
cheers Darrel
Might be the very hard water in your Tanganyikan tank?Got two of these about a year ago and both haven't grown much, currently at about 110 mm.

Re: L086?
Based on the additonal pics, these are indeed Scobis. Seems like they are not getting enough food, as manifested by the sunken belly.
These are very voracious eaters IME. They also produce a lot of waste. High temps, very good filtration, and high oxygen are essential for these. Perhaps those huge tankmates are devouring most of the food that's why their growth is a bit stunted.
IMO these beautiful L-cats should be the showcase of the tank.
