Pleco ordered as L183, it is not. What is it?

Post by Sdowney »

This pleco was ordered as L183. It is definitely not the L183 but am not sure what L number it is. It has a white body with black broad stripes across the body starting starting at the dorsal. The head appears to have black marking that are not stripes but also not dots that are black. The nose is a gradual slope. Hope this helps, I have added a couple pictures, thank you in advance.
