It's very "white" but that maybe depends what have been done with the photos, but I also think it's L333.

It's hard to tell from the angle the fish is at, but I think I would go for L333 but I'm not 100% sure it's not just a pretty L66. L333 is stubbier than L66, not as elongate. Some see L333 as having black pattern on white, while L66 has a white pattern on black, but I'm not happy with that distinction. Also males are more vibrantly coloured than females in both L numbers.

They are young L333. They become more pale with age.

:D :D They are definetly not L333. They are exactly what Royle Montalvo(Doc or Ffn) says they are. They are selectively bred(In Germany)King Tiger Plecos. They have wider white stripes than L333,King Tiger,or Queen Arabesque Plecos. :D :D :D :D
