Rhino pleco
« on: October 06, 2015, 07:25:49 PM »


Have had this guy cooped up in a 20g tank for a few weeks till I found room for him. Finally did a bit of moving around tonight and did the Pleco shuffle enough to make room for him so that he's in my 75g show tank now. He's a good size Rhino already at about 6.5"

Thanks Scott. I actually got two identical ones so his twin brother is still in the angelfish tank, just trying to decide what I want to do with him next.

I just have way too many plecos in that tank as is. I have about 8 plecos in that 75, most are 4" and above. So zucchini day is a crap-fest and I have to vac the sand every 3 days right now :o That's why I'm tryin to sell them two brown female BNP's, just have too many in that tank to fit them all.
