Hi,
I like the sunshine pl*co and the Pseudacanthicus leopardus...
Those have completely different feeding habits. While Panaque sp. "L 90" is a woodeating/herbivorous fish, Scobinancistrus sp. "L 14" and Pseucacanthicus leopardus are mainly carnivorous.
You should better pick another herbivorous type of catfish, like Panaqolus spp. or, if it´s supposed to be a bigger one, Cochliodon spp. or Baryancistrus spp.. Hemiancistrus subviridis or L 128 might work, as well.

Cheers, Sandor
