It actually looks like a King Tiger (aka Scribble) Pleco and I believe the L number is L066. If you paid 50 bucks that is kinda on the high end but they are totally worth it. I have one but rarely see him unless I look in his cave. Kings generally run 29-39 bucks. I definetly don't think it is a sailfin because they have totally different patterns. The Gibbiceps (Sailfin) is more dark brown with lacy looking black spots that are very dominant. The King btw, gets 6 inches max.

Yea, it looks exactly like my tiger. I paid $25 though. I thought I was completely getting ripped off, but I didn't. I wish he came out though. I can only see him in the holes of the driftwood.

That doesn't look much like a sailfin. Besides, if you paid $50 for anything other than a 19" sailfin, I'd ask for half of my money back. They're great fish, but you can certainely find them for cheaper.
