What Is A L144 Pleco?

Is L144 a subspieces? Color? TIA.

From PlanetCatfish:

L144 is rare. The fish sold as L144 is a different form, most likely based on Ancistrus cf. cirrhosus. This form resembling L144 can be found under as Ancistrus sp(4). The offspring of the only known import of this fish was line-bred to "fix" the colour form. All true L144 specimens are offspring from this single male.

So if you have a blue eyed albino or albino bristlenose, it's not L144, its the far more common Albino variation of Ancistrus cirrhosus...

Hope that helps...
