I.D. help please.

Got this fish 2 to 3 years ago as L-015. It's 5" total length. Thank you for any help.
As this fish grew alot of it's stripes have turned to spots.

nice fish, I agree its not like L015! not even sure its peckoltia.
do you have a teeth shot at all?

it is a peckolitia sp, my guess would be L387, but could be one of a few different types

Unfortunately, no tooth shot. She's very shy and I had to pull her into a fish bowl to get these pics. She is also very peaceful. She even puts up with the Loaches in her tank who want all caves to themselves

I keep refering to this...she looked exactly like this at 1" when we got her from a reputable dealer at our Aquatic Society.

Hence the belief that she was a -015? Since she has grown, those stripes have broken and we have what you see above. Anyone know what might start out that way as a youngin' and become what you see above? I am pretty sure I have a pic or two of when we first got her. I will post if I can find them.

def not L015, as i said, my first impression is to say its likely L387

Im with scatz, I reckon L387 too

Just had another look lol, maybe L147

i dont think its L147, it looks too short and stocky

Thanks for all your input. Next time I do gravel vac I will pull it out and take more pics from all angles.Then repost.

L008?

I've seen a plec that looks exactly the same identified in the past but for the life of me can't remember what it was

Thats what i thought.

Better pics for ID

Hi again got more pics and measured her: 3.5" standard length. Have fun and thank you.

i'd go with L008 after the new pics

yes, teeth show not a panaque and look like peckoltia,
so still go with L008, some pics here...
