I think you've got L400 there
Can't confirm a pair, altough #2 is a male and #1 could be female

Look like L400's to me, a clearer pic would help.

Miezekatze, can you post a photo of an L400 from the side if you have one.
i have 30 of these that have come in as L316's and i would really help me to see a decent pic of an L400. my aqualog runs out at about L350
thanks

Marcus,
Have a look on L-Welse.Com. It is a German site but has some excellent photos.

you can not define a L400 or L399 by stripe pattern like you define a zeb because every specimen of those species is differently patterned

Anyone care to translate this line for me...
"Besonderes: L 400 mit viel Weissanteil im Zeichnungsmuster werden von findigen Händlern bewusst oder unbewusst oftmals als Hypancistrus sp. "L 236" oder "L 250" angeboten."
translation tools are all well and good but it still makes no sence to me
