These plecos don't look like my L66s, but I thought I would get a second opinion anyway. They are supposed to be B+W L333s. What do you guys think?

L66s huh? Check out this other group of hypans which I believe are L66s. The color and pattern is different.

This is one of those really frustrating issues.
I'm not arguing, yet.
I don't know enough, yet.
The fish in the first video look exactly like my L333s.

In the US, at least, shipments of WC 'b&w333's' have contained 66's, 399's, lower xingu's, 401's, 450's, and maybe some b&w333's, if such a fish even exists. This fish could be anything, or a hybrid cross of anything.
My entire group of 5 399's was bought as 333's in 2007 or so. They were striped at 2" and developed spots over time.

I don't have an ID, but I'll vote against l066 based on the non-lyre-tail and horizontal vs. vertical stripe pattern. This look closer to a 'lower xingu' than 66 or 333 that has more of a classic 'tiger' stripe pattern.

Tails are too crescent for L333, I'm leaning toward L66.

Well I have alot to consider. Thanks for all the responses. These fish could grow another inch in my estimation. L399 might be the winning label with the cresent tail and horizontal pattern. One of the fish that was hiding in the video is kinda spotted too, which would also fit the L399 label.
Thanx again,
Jay
