are these 2 L66 king tiger?

[ladyequine]

I am pretty sure I bought it as a King tiger a couple years ago but of course pet stores can get things wrong and I've seen similar types.

today I also just bought a pretty young one labeled as an L66 king tiger and would like verification

first 6 photos are of the adult last 2 are of the juvenile

That's odd Richard as I can see them...

I previewed it and it was all good, not sure why its not working? I used tinypic and copied the code for forums etc

I see the pics too, but I don't know hypans well enough to offer an opinion as to ID.

The first pictured looks like my L333. And the second pictured fish looks like the L66. Also the L333 is also called Yellow or White King Tiger too. I see the moniker used for both L333 and L66. It gets quite confusing.

[ladyequine]

Thanks Brennae appreciate the input. is the tail right for L333? it looks a lot more forked than the L333

[Brennae]

[/img]Let me see if I can post a picture of my L333 adult for you to compare. Long time lurker here but rarely as poster. If someone could let me know if I was successful or what I did wrong with the pic sharing I'd appreciate it.

I just messaged a friend to hop over here and take a look for you. He knows a lot more than I do about these specific plecs.

Brennae, your picture posted just fine. Okay, yeah,... it's sideways. But that's no fault of how you posted it. That's the picture itself. And even with it being sideways, we can see the tail. But if it helps, I'll rotate it for you.

Cheers, Eric

awesome I look forward to hearing anything I can. I can say that both the young one and my first one have very similar tail shapes so I suspect them to both be the same whether its L333 or L66... unless there is another species that is very similar and easily mistaken

[ladyequine]

I forgot to add in original post that the bigger one was bought as L66 king tiger and not L333 which is why I bought the juvenile labeled L66 king tiger

[Brennae]

I know L333 and L66 get confused and used to be grouped as one. I agree about the tail difference. I am not sure if the collection points for these plecos makes a difference with tails or just colors on the case of L333.

[Brennae]

Ok so my pal who has had these before says they look like L66. He also said there is still debate on whether L66 and L333 or even different species or just different collection points. I hope this helps some rather than confusing the issue more!

[ladyequine]

awesome thanks a lot and tell your friend thank you too!, I'll keep in mind in future if I purchase any more to make sure I get the same tails haha.
