How can you tell?

Mine's still too small to know by size.

Can you post a pic?

If it helps, this is one of my ottos.

Hmm, he looks like that. I hope he's an otto! Are there any bodily differences?

Here's a link to a picture of a CAE, it's the 2nd one down:

From my experience, the main way to tell is in the tail. The CAE has a horizontal black stripe that continues off of its body and goes through the tail fin. The Oto has more of vertical black stripes on its tail. I'll post some pics comparing the two when I get home.

Yeah, I can see that on google, thanks!

Any time!
