flatfish Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 They are related to plecos and yes some have L-numbers. All suckermouth catfish, which includes plecos, are members of the catfish family Loricariidae. The catfish family has 6 subfamilies, one of which has most of the plecos, another includes the Otocinclus catfish, and another the whiptails. So they are relies but not the same.
