the original post was confusing. I think what Liv was trying to do was post the pic and see if it was like that... and if not, maybe clarify from that. I'd be interested in seeing a picture.
 
I've seen L333, L316, and L066 being sold as zebra plecos before. Without a picture of what you saw at the LFS it's all just a wild guess though.

sorry about the rude reply
doesn't look like any of the pics
or the others in the posts i checked on planetcatfish
the head pattern coloration was diferent then rest of boby looked like two plecos were put together
i will see if i can get a pic go back to store
they were $16.99
it could be something really new
do you think i should buy one
 
For 16.99 I would have bought them all and then found out what they were.
 
Two Tank Amin you could check them out they are at AQUAHUT in CORAM LONG ISLAND o corner of rt 112 and rt25 next to home depot

i was going to buy one but didn't know how big they get
