Thanks guys!

They are fake floating lillypads...the kind they sell typically for outdoor ponds. I originally got those at a PetCo, I think it was, but recently I've noticed a lot of them on sale at Lowe's---this is the time of year to get a hold of them!

I got that rhino pleco at a local fish store here in town.
It's weird how it worked out. At first I had requested one from the owner of the store when he mentioned there were a couple he could get his hands on for his next delivery from Tampa Bay. Well, after calling back a couple times they told me the wholesaler already sold them.

Anyway, just happened to be in there a couple weeks ago, and lo and behold there's this guy in and amongst the sailfins in the big CA/SA cichlid tank, so I nabbed him up right away!

He's about 10" total length, give or take.
