This is not one of the actual fish for sale but is an example of what they look like.

Is the LO66 a text reference?

Just curious, remember seeing other similar references in other posts.

Cheers Clint :lol:

Here is some info that I got off wikipedia that should explain your question.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-number

The L-number system is a semi-scientific classification system of catfish based on photographs of shipments of tropical catfish of the family Loricariidae published by the aquarium magazine DATZ (Die Aquarien und Terrarienzeitschrift).

An L-number is not an official scientific name, but it does allow people to identify various Loricariid catfish by a "common name" before the fish is actually officially described. When a Loricariid receives an official scientific name, the L-number is retired. [1]

In general a specific L-number classification does not guarantee a discrete species—multiple L numbers have been given to different populations of the same species. To add to the confusion, sometimes a single L-number may actually be used for multiple species
