You can get them from C328 and any other stores that stock "exotic" fish. Tried Y618 yet?
They need a certain diet to thrive and often those at the shops do not get fed very well. You might want to ask the GC shopkeeper what he feeds them.

Is zebra oto same as tiger oto?
Any photos of zebra Otto???
Hi SH, thanks very much, I try not to travel so far (I am in Serangoon) to the west for 1 fish. But if no choice then i will. I think that is why mine died, i did not give it the certain diet you mentioned. Maybe you can tell me what is their special diet? Can i dump this diet in the shrimp tank, because thats where the oto will stay.
i got mine from CRS Haven.. $2
Zebra Otocinclus or Otocinclus cocama is not the same as the Tiger Oto, which is a Parotocinclus sp. with a different body form.
I find them to be more sensitive than the common Oto. They are more herbivorous in nature and you can feed them with blanched slices of veggies like cucumbers. An occasional feeding of frozen bloodworm can be a treat but they seem to prefer brown/green algae and veggies.

ok it resembles a zebra oto (shape and size) but minus the zebra prints. haha!
Just been to Y618. They do have Zebra otto selling at $16 per piece.

New batch at C328 too, probably at GC as well. Price, I did not ask.

sigh, the one I bought from JZK just died...the hunt starts again....
is this oto safe to keep with shrimps?
yes..so far shrimps survived but oto died. Bought a regular oto instead.
i see.. thanks!
Otocinclus are generally shrimp safe. They may compete for food but otherwise pose no direct danger to the shrimps or shrimplets.
