L-number

L-number

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. cite web | url= http://www.aquariacentral.com/articles/lnumbers.shtml |title=What are L Numbers?

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.

Additionally the aquarium magazine 'Das Aquarium' introduced a similar system using the prefix 'LDA'.

The L-numbers are listed below in numerical order.
