Pleco ID!

[nycfatcow]

Went to the LFS today and picked up a dwarf pleco that was sold as a leopard frog pleco (L134). When i got home i started googling pictures and it seems like the leopard frogs are more white with black markings and my pleco seems to be the opposite. Is it possible that i got a king tiger pleco?

Can anyone please ID this?

or maybe a mega clown pleco?

Hard to tell which species exactly but IMO it does look like either an L066 or L333.

is it fair to say that this is definitely not a leopard frog pleco? This guy is sitting in my shrimp planted tank, will probably have to return him if hes a king tiger. They seems to be mostly carnivorous and wont mix well with what i have. Also looks like a mega clown?

Hi,

you got yourself a Hypancistrus debilittera (formerly known as L129).
