otos.

[Gwenz]

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

My opinion is that you would be better off putting 3 of those zebras in my tank. lol.. those are some cool otos. i gotta find some.

 

[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.
