Hello everyone! Need your help identifying this L-cat. Told this is a Peckoltia. Is it? Which one? Thanks.

I want to say p. furcata but without more pictures it's really tough to judge.

Could also be stress coloration on a p. brevis...is the tail striped or spotted?

Hi! Thanks for the quick response! I was told this is L015, but I know otherwise. The tailfin is striped compared to the dotted pectoral fins. Also, the belly is dotted too.
Right now, it is isolated in a 20G tank with several pieces of driftwood. Left some Hikari carnivore tabs last night and they were all gone this morning. I will try to get some photos later and see what are the changes in its colouration and pattern.
Thanks again!

Not an L215 P Brevis, IMHO. They have stripes, not spotted throughout.

Could be L108 grows about 13-14 cm.

Thanks for the feedback. But there is zero chance this is a Squaliforma

Thanks. Yes, L008 is the closest aside from P Furcata.

If the tail is spotted, it could be a P.Oligospila. Nevertheless, very beautiful one!
