I just bought a Rhino Plec. He is one ugly dude, but seems to be earning his keep by getting rid of the algae. Does anyone else out there have one? I know very little about him.

Glyptoperichthys scrophus also called a chocolate plec. Potential size is approx 27-27.5cm, were you aware of that? I couldn't find much info about them at all, interesting looking fish though.

I have one here about 1 foot, it's really a gentle giant despite the size. Doesnt hide at all under the driftwood but instead swims and hovers around all over the tank. It eats all kinds of sinking food it can find, a good and easy to care for pleco i must say!

I thought LFS told me 10 inches max. I hope he grows slow]:| He is neat, I have been watching him closely lately. And he is doing a good job on the algae

He probably thinks the same about you

I am sure he does - especially if he sees me early in the day ]
