Sold to me as a King Tiger... Not so sure
I'm new to the forums here, so I'm sorry if I'm asking too many questions. I know you all just helped me ID my other plecostomus.
I bought this guy, or gal, labeled as a King Tiger... but after seeing some of the pictures in here, I'm not so sure. So, I thought I'd throw it you experts to resolve. I have several pictures posted here:

Thanks in advance for your help.

Looks to me to be a young L333 AKA 'Yellow King Tiger'. Still small so it could be almost any of the striped hypans, but it looks like the yellow 333 that I have raised.

L333 was my guess as well. I have kept and bred them for years.

Thanks for all the feedback. I don't know them all well enough yet to know the difference for sure.

Re: Sold to me as a King Tiger... Not so sure
I agree with the others. They look identical to my 7 L133's.
