What Plecos do you own?

What exactly do the L numbers mean? i must have missed that one.
 
"L" is for Loricidae catfish discoveries which are so new and so various that they've yet to be identified. And maybe some similar "speicies" are really just variations of one speicies? Until the taxonomy experts decide these matters, they are just give numbers. The same thing applies to new Corydoras varieties which are give "C" numbers, pending final identification.
 
I have a Pleco that is about 17 months old and is now about 11-12 inchs. He shares the same tank as my Oscar. I like my Pleco. I never had to clean the glass not once because of him. He makes alot of mess, but i do weekly water changes every Wednesday so water quality has never been an issue for my tank.

I have a 7" common pleco and a L066, king tiger pleco
I do not have a pic of my common, and my king tiger (L66) loves to hide, or play in a spot that i just can not get a pic of him. :) So i took him out once and got a shot.
