Looks like one of these:

Bristlenose

Bristlenose catfish haven't got an L number, they usually just come under ancistrus sp.
Hope that helps.

there are many species of Bristlenose plecs that DO have an L number. L183, L182 for example. the plec in question is a ancistrus sp 3

That's why I said the Bristlenose catfish, which is the standard type and known as ancistrus sp. You are obviously referring to the Starlight Bristlenose Catfish. 5teady, I believe was asking about the standard type.
Sorry 5teady if this was misleading, I was however referring to the type you had.
They are beautiful! Are you planning on breeding them?

No problem.
Are they yours? I've not seen them in the lfs before, really pretty markings though.

Yes they are mine, i got 5 of them altogether that are adults but 2 of them dont seem to be breeding, this trio are a definite breeding trio though.

I also have another 5 smaller ones but are only about 2.5" in lengh.

Good for you!
It always seems to take a few attempts to get a good batch when they breed. You'll be inundated before you know it!
