I've seen some lovey pics of rhino and chocolate plecs on this web site and I'd love to find one but my local fish shop says I must have the "L" number for it if he is going to find one for me. I've looked through your list, and I could just have missed it, but I don't seem to be able to find the number.

Does anyone know the nomber I need?
I'd be realy greatfull for some ideas.
Thanks

This species does not have an L number.

I can understand that not everyone knows which Loricarids have L-numbers and which don't. What I don't understand however is the reaction of your LFS. You have the correct name for them; what more do they need??

Rachel,
They should be on his/her list as "Rhino" or "Alligator" pleco out of either SE Asia (farm bred) or Peru (wild caught). Be careful with "Chocolate" plecos as I have see this common name applied to the amelanistic form of L. pardalis.

If you're willing to travel, the Goldfish Bowl in Oxford has two full-grown ones, but they aren't cheap--Â£79.99 each.

Thanks everyone for your replies. â?? I shall go back to LFS and try again armed with this info. Trouble is I very new to fancy plecs and donâ??t feel that I know what Iâ??m talking about. Reading this site should change all that.
Jeff - Ta, but I'm looking for a baby, am prepared to travel though.
Thanks again for your time.

I have a Rhino Pleco the best thing about them is they don't hide all day long they like to just sit on rocks or ornaments and look handsome.
