L333 King Tiger Pleco ?

[lil-lynx]

Hello I am looking to purchase a young L333 could any one give me some care details as I cant find any on Google
Am I right in thinking its a King Tiger Pleco ?

L066 seems to be the true King Tiger Pleco and gets to about 12cm. L333 is very similar, lives in the same place and gets to 15cm.

Other main differences seem to be that L066 has white stripes and L333 has more yellowy.

Thanks for the information. Any idea how these will be in a planted tank with a carpeting foreground ? will they mess it up ?

Not kept these before but I would hazard a guess that they might like digging.

I'd say they'll definitely dig, but they may only dig in one area, and you can put a barrier of wood or stone to encourage them to stay that side. It's worth a try, you can pull it out if it doesn't work.
The only fish I've had similar was a L134. It hides alot but loves to arrange the sand the way it wants at night.
