rhino pleco

[valerie]

Does anyone have ayn experience with rhino plecos(Glyptoperichthys scrophus)? How big did your get? Some websites say 10" and some say 13". I have talked to a person who had one and theres only got 8".

Which one is true? Tell me about your rhino pleco,is it aggresive? would it work with african cichlids?

i have a rhino pleco thats around 5". only had him about a month though. im sure they eventually end up in around the foot range. i only have one cichlid in my catfish tank with the rhino. they never even run across each others path. the pleco usually stays stuck to the back glass until he looks for something to eat.

I;ve had mine a coupleof years. Bought it when it was around 6 inches. Now it's about a foot.
I don't think it's growing, anymore.
