Please use this topic to post your Otocinclus photos. I'll leave it stickied so it appears at the top of the posts. Only your own photos please, not taken from the internet.

Thanks,
Mike

Here's my little cuties Marble (first pic) and Mist. The pics were taken back when the tank had a bad "pea soup" algae problem. :P

Here's another one of him eating on a cucumber. And one with both male and female on the little house.

Ladies and gents, I present you the ... upside down picture. Plus the usual oto-on-a-leaf picture thrown in for good measure.

Gozer_1 · November 29th, 2007

Heres 3 of my 4 Otos. I love these guys. Had no idea they could eat that much algae.

armadillo · December 2nd, 2007

And here's another typical shot of an oto on a leaf.

armadillo · December 19th, 2007

Here's some shots of my otos schooling with my dwarf loaches. It's really cool to watch.

armadillo · December 19th, 2007

I like this one because it just shows, once again, the otos' dedication to cucumber, LOL.

armadillo · December 19th, 2007

Here's a couple more. I love how the molly could not resist the cucumber either.

armadillo · December 29th, 2007

1/ Zebra oto

2/ Oto affinis on a piece of cucumber amidst a molly riot.

0morrokh · January 23rd, 2008

Just found Marble sitting at the front of the tank. I've had her for almost 2 years now I think.

Armadillo I think I'm going to have to come steal your zebra otos.

Allie · April 1st, 2008

My 3 otos

bigfoot-daniel · September 20th, 2008

Does anyone elses Oto do this?

tuffpaws · February 7th, 2009

Since oto fry are relatively rare, here's a little wriggler for ya. Sorry I'm no pro photographer.

tuffpaws · February 9th, 2009

I was able to snap this one today. Proud papa, and little baby. I see 3-5 of these guys a day, in various stages of life, this is one of the larger ones. It's frightening how quickly they disappear they swim away, who knows how many are actually in the tank.

Hello,
Some great pics, here is my contribution to the Oto photos (please excuse the quality) I have had these for 2 weeks now all seems to be OK - Thanks to the advise from this forum.

Here's a picture of my "oops baby". I wasn't aware that otos would spawn in aquariums, I was actually on my way to buy a few more! Instead I decided to cycle a new otos-only tank and see if I can get more babies.

N0body Of The Goat · November 7th, 2010

Not sctrictly Otos as such, although they were sold as "Giant Otos," Otocinclus gigantes! You might struggle to find info on such a species

These two guys of mine (now wish I had decided on them a few weeks aerlier and so would have got more than the last couple) reach ~7cm and are Hypoptopoma inexspectatum (no common name). They have a unique line that runs along the side of their snout to along where their mouth is. Males have a thick "hook" dorsal fin ray, whereas females do not, I appear to have one of each...

Kopeth · March 14th, 2011

Heres my oto.

Poor thing lost all his buddies and I haven't had time to get him more.
