There is no albino rhino. There is an albino chocolate... which is NOT a rhino.

The albino chocolate is classed under a Pterygoplichthys pardalis. As an albino for the common pleco.

:iagree:

I've seen this mislabeling many times. It's very unlikely to be any other species than the pardalis. If you got lucky you may have an albino sailfin, but that is also unlikely.
 
Had this guy for about 5 years! Love him...He keeps my 320g free of algae all by himself!!! He's probably 10-11in...Don't think he's gonna get any bigger.

Shoot me a PM about your questions because I don't understand your inquiry?
 
You dont see rhinos in LFS anymore.. ppl just dont seem to bring them in...

But they are veggie eaters from what i've read...
