Hi,
sorry no L 173 for sure. Looks like Hypancistrus sp. "lower Xingu" or L 450 for me. Nice fish, but I hope that you got them for a fair price.
Regards

The top fish, especially, looks like my L450s, to me. Nice fish. Good luck with them.

looks like "Lower Xingu" to me, but in my opinion they are basically the same as L450 anyways...just a bit downstream...to keep on point though...not L173...ENJOY

Hi
These catfishes are "Lower Xingu" i Think i now where they are from and they will look even better in some lighter Colors in the tank, Then the White Color Will be more clear.
