I got 12 of these little fellas, they are between 20-40mm. First pics and video are whilst they are still in the shop's tank. Lousy quality due to my iphone.

These are when they acclimatised and first introduced to the tank.

These fish are lovely!
I'd hazard a guess that they are L399.
Below are some pictures of my fish.
Its really hard to ID them when they are small.
The pictured fish are about 3" TL.
Did the shop label them with a L-number?

So you come to PCS and solicit for an ID on your "mystery" pleco.
And when you get a reply or opinion you don't update out thread ---> here (http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=30949)

The contrast of the black and white is quite stunning! What excellent catch! Very beautiful fishes.
