L – Numbers of Loricariidae catfishes.
The family Loricariidae includes five subfamilies with almost 800 species, and new species are appearing more and more frequently. Few of them have been scientifically described, and therefore a need arose to somehow systematize them. Based on this, a German aquarist proposed the L-number system. L represents the family (Loricariidae), and the number represents the species. Another German aquarist proposed LDA-numbers (Loricariidae Das Aquarium). Currently, the L-system is the most widespread system used for collected catfishes.
The L-system is by no means a scientific name, but is used as a synonym. A species may have multiple numbers, and there are many reasons for this. Most often, this happens due to different ages or origins of the species taken into account during identification. It is also important to remember that L-numbers are only a small part of the Loricariidae family. Below is a list of the most well-known L-numbers.
