The first picture is a picture I got from the internet of a king tiger and the second is a picture I took of my pleco. Do you guys think they are the same or no.

Would it be possible to get a profile pic of the pleco? Hard to tell from just an overhead view

L66 is a possibility. As is L400 and possibly L134. I do not think it is an L333 as it appears too white of a background.

I would like to see how deeply forked the caudal fin is.

There also do not appear to be enough stripes on the pectoral fins. They also appear almost reticulated and not striped on the right side. That is where I am getting the L134 from. Although it is not a good match overrall for L134.

This is the best picture I can get of the pleco.

Tail fork appears too shallow for L066

For what it's worth, I think this is L333. I've noticed that the white base on my L333 is brighter/whiter when she(?) is cruising around the tank and darker/more yellow-ish when chilling out in its resting spot. Beautiful fish either way - one of my favorites.

I agree. And it's definitely not an L134.

I am going to go with the consensus that it's an L333. They are fairly common and there is some variation in the coloration, although most do appear to have a more yellow background color than what we see in the picture.
