I have lots of questions but I'll start with this one.

What river/'s do the Rhino Pleco come from?

Thankyou!

Ok...no ideas? Then maybe you can confirm for me that they come from Peru, maybe?

On to the NEXT question.

What is the max. KNOWN size of one of these guys? I'm hearing the average size is 8", but I also heard they can get up to 15".

Thanks

Uh...nope. All the nswers are not there. I can't find anything on him.

I did, however, make some progress. I found one site that says the Rhino is from the Rio Ucayali River in Peru. Unfortunatly, I can't find anything to prove this. Further more, I can't find what water type the Ucayali is (Black, white, clear). Any help here?
