This was sold as "236" but not sure and some said it's either 174 or 400...here is the close up of it's head

Whole body:

Here is another one sold as zebra variant, again, it may be 174 or 400 as i was told:

Please comment on their head and eyes...see whether who are they!!!

Greatshorty,

It is either L399 or L400, L400 tends to have a stouter body than L399

there's such confusion with all these L code's now especially with the Hypancistrus, the way i have been doing it for a while now is that when a shipment come's in i'll just try to get the most unusual looking one's, so i hav a tank of odd-ball's. You have some nice fish there mate

From the link you provided, it seems that mine may be one of those...however, the one from the link seems have less dots. In contrast, mine is much more dense and with some short lines, also over the fins and tails it's more likely to be dots rather than lines. But this is the closest one to be seen when compared to 262 or something else.
