    Does anyone have experience with these?

    Saw them at an LFS today that I supply reptiles and exotics to, and figured i'd see what I can get them for.

    I got them at around cost and paid only $3 each, so I bought 5, all around 3" in size.

    I thought they looked pretty cool and I haven't seen them before!

    I started researching and ready they can get around 12", because initially they told me around 6".

    Any ideas?

    I took lots of pics but they came out like poop

    Here are two good ones I found online because my pics didn't come out very well.

    I have a Coolpix s630 but for some reason can't get close up pics to show up clear and detailed, always seems fuzzy, distorted.. cursing

    it almost looks like nose flaps sticking up...

    Pet Kingdom in ft myers... i know the owners and supply them with reptiles and stuff..
    I don't usually get fish there and don't think most of their fish look that great, but these were new and looked great.

    Cool find I have seen around 40 to 50 different types of pleco's in my visits to lfs and or friends who keep fish I am looking and doing some research on breeding them if anyone has experience in this I would love to chat about it sometime.It's my understanding there are so many different species and or breeds they are numbered

    Actually what I have are Peckoltia. That was what the guy at the LFS said but I had forgotten and just looked up Rhino Pleco.

    Here's the data page:
    http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=196

    Not sure why when I looked up Rhino Pleco it gave me details on something else. Actually, looking up Pterygoplichthys Scrophus on Planet Catfish gave me no results!?


    and for Phish Head, here is the link to the L Numbers for all Plecos.
