been on the hunt for one of these guys for quite awhile. is it true they pretty much destroy all live plants?

Not in my experience. My 6" rhino pleco is in a planted 75 gallon and does not mess with plants. If anything, it cleans my broad leaf plants of algae. When he was in a tank with sand substrate, he came out and ate pellets off of the bottom as soon as they sank. Awesome fish, named for their horn like nasal protrusions. He does not bother any fish and they don't mess with him. Definitely a lot cooler than common plecos too.
