" before the fish is actually officially described. When a Loricariid receives an official scientific name, the L-number is retired.

In general a specific L-number classification does not guarantee a discrete species—multiple L numbers have been given to different population

A population is all the organisms that both belong to the same group or species and live in the same geographical area. The area that is used to define a sexual population is such that inter-breeding is possible between any pair within the area and more probable than cross-breeding with individuals...

s 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'.
