ID my pleco

[KHarris]

This guy was sold to me as a "Fancy" Common Pleco from my LFS, labeled fancy because he was brown, but he doesn't look like any "common pleco" I've seen. I think he actually might be a Rhino Pleco, but I want to get some different opinions. He's 4" long right now and still growing.

Can you give a side view and a head on photo? It doesn't look like a rhino from that pic

Chocolate pleco, occasionally called rhino plecos, not to be confused with P. scrophus. He is a color morph of the P. pardalis.

Thats a rhino, atleast I've seen them called that before haha! Quite frankly "fancy common pleco" sounds like a nice name for the rhino! xD Definitely give plenty of pictures, and better ones next time you need an ID.

The confusion comes from both being called chocolates... the tag Rhino gets mixed in there too

Look at my Avatar for a real Rhino
