I've been looking to buy otos for a while now and finaly found somewhere that sells them. I've only ever heard of one type of oto, which is otocinclus vestitus.

But this store sells ototocinclus sp. -

and otocinclus flexilis -

Ok, I know they're different in looks, but does anyone know what the difference is between them? Will they all eat algae? How big do they get?

Thanks

Great thanks, Gunnie!

I might get 3 of the zebra ones to put in my 15gall.

Thanks again.

Gwenz

I'm curious - just now I got to wondering - have you ever seen Dr.Who themed aquarium decor there? I'd LOVE to put Daleks or Tardis' in the tanks.

Gwenz

lol yea that would be funny, but i've never actualy seen any.

Gwenz

P.S. - Will keep a look out for you!

Thanks, something like that would be especially unique over here in the US, since it's a lot harder to find here than the UK.

Gwenz

yes. We could probably find some somewhere.
