I think it's a type of oto. They're about the same size, look very similar except for their wonderful color!!

I now know what I'm getting for my next tank!!!

Wow lovely! Too bad they get so big, I would want them passionately if they were Otto size :-)

They're pretty close! Most places that sell otos say they are 1"-2". These are 1"-2.5".....

Next tank I get..... mwuahahaha!

Radcliffe

Hmm, the link you posted says they get to up to a foot long...ah to have that much tank room!!!

hahaha WOW!! I must have missed that little ' ..... 1" to 1' is a BIG difference!!! But man, that would be a cool fish to have!!

Tom

I hate to burst your bubble twice, but that is a type of CAE(chinese algae eater) and they grow to 1'(1 foot). They can get really aggresive and lazy when fully grown. They do a great job on the algae though when they are small.

Then why do it!!!!!

lol yeah, I already said I didn't notice the 1 foot instead of 1 inch thing.... DUH, Tom! Sheesh.

Tom

I like to burst peoples bubbles, it's fun for me. That's just where I gave up reading and decided to type instead.

Those are cool and in a big tank, i bet they'd look great.

Amnagrla

lol yeah!! That's the ticket.

I do this they would look awesome. A big, bright, yellow algae sucker, one foot long, sucking on your glass!!!

armadillo

Awesome idea!

Tom

Unitl it starts going after your fish and trying to suck on their slime coating.
