L203 and L90c
L203 and L90c
What is the relationship between L203 and L90c? Are L203 and LDA65 the same thing? If not, then how do you differentiate a juvenile LDA65 from a juvenile L203? Anybody's got any idea?

This site says that L203 and LDA65 are the same.
Most of the distinction between similar looking L-/LDA-numbers is based on the location they were caught at - which of course means that they may be variants of the same species, or differnet species, but until they are scientifically described, no-one really knows...
Googling for L90c seems to indicate that it's also considered the same species - but that's only from googling, so I don't know for sure.
It's not unusual that the juvenile version of a fish is given one L-number and the adult another, since many Loricariidae don't look the same when young as they do as adults.
