Hi all just got this from C328. Anyone has an ID? Is it the oto sp orange?
There can only be ONE
Yeap it is, that is the trade name. BTW did you see Oto Sp. Tiger?
Looks like Nannoptopoma sp. "Peru"
I also got one specimen from there few days back. Very stable specimen.
Looks good. Think going to get some.
God will make a way, where there seems to be no way
Looks pretty big. Good to see that more of the exotic guys are reaching our shores. Now wait for the green version.
These are big? you mean bigger than zebra otos? mmm thought they are tiny fellows.

From the comparison of the leave side and the size of the fish, it looks abit bigger than the normal Otocinclus spp. Not sure if they are of the same size as the zebra version.
Looks good. May I know how much did you purchase it for? Thanks.
Any idea how big will it grow? can pm me the price? I Just bough panda gara but too big does not suit my 2ft tank. Any idea what type of algae it eat? Need something but not snail to help me clean the glass

otos are good cleaners in general, but not the best. The freshwater 'abalone' snails are exceptionallyeffective for tank wall cleaning.
Never create what you can't control
Expensive algae cleaners? You are better off with Otocinclus spp.
I have two of them that are past the 6 months mark already. Yay!!! They can be quite delicate during the first few months, previous ones didn't do too well. The largest is no more more than 3 cm SL, so I don't think it will grow very much larger.
With that size in mind, I don't think they will do well with larger fishes. Mine is kept in a 1 feet cube, tank mates are Boraras urophthalmoides and Celestichthys margaritatus.
Diet include flakes, pellets, live tubifex and frozen bloodworms. There is plenty of algae in the tank as well. It's a "dirty" tank, basically left alone without much water changes, with some wood and plants.
Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
abalone snails?? you mean the flat looking shelled ones?
Yeap, took me by surprise how industrious they are at cleaning and the acrobatic act when they move across the corners of the tank and unlike your nerites, you don't have to worry about them clinbling out.Originally Posted by ranmasatome
Sorry, bro. Still couldn't get it. Any photo to identify this? Thanks.

Here's a link to the picture http://www.applesnail.net/content/ph...cylus_spec.jpg, it is actually a freshwater limpet.
Still have no sighting of oto tiger, have never seen it in the shops before. Do hope someone will bring it in.
The size I got is about 4 cm. Price wise similar to Zebra oto.
There can only be ONE
Shucks, I miss it alot, I think LFS here should aware of the demand for otos like corydoras, WE NEED MORE. Never suspected that one day I'd be a fan of aquatic felines.
yep I would love to have a school or tiger otos too!
I think C328 got tiger otos. I ask auntie. Not sure is it refering to the Nannoptopoma sp. "Peru".

Can't remember exactly, but Nannoptopoma sp. "Peru" was sold as either zebra/tiger oto, which is also being used for Otocinclus cocama and Parotocinclus sp. "Peru" as well.
