I'd say L075, check the spotted caudal fin. I have one also....a lovely fish.

Yea I definitely think it's an L075. It has traces of orange in the fins and looks exactly like them! The only thing I don't get is it says 9.8 inches (I read 9" every where else), but then there is a picture of an adult on the top right with it at about 4-5".

9" or 9.8" doesn't really matter in the end...your questioning something less than an inch. But if you want accurate sizing then use the one PC give...

As for the 4-5"....my guess is nearer 5 to 6 but yes, it's a young adult.

Mines around 6-7 inches at present: here
