    I got myself a bag of 10 zebra otos from C328 last night. I've placed a "booking" with them for 3-4 months and finally they've arrived! Auntie said more are coming in today. This batch of zebra otos is HUGE - 1.5x the size of the usual shipments. They look stable and were very active even in the bag.

    Also in are Nannoptopoma sp 'Peru'. Auntie said 10 pieces are in.

    All the best with the Nannoptopoma sp 'Peru'. I was tempted to get a few, but i think like my decision with the tiger otos, i may give it a miss despite immense temptation. I have no confidence to keep them alive

    I may top up even more zebra otos though 10 extra large pieces still looks too little for a 422

    supplier brought in 150 pieces of zebra otos (left 140 pieces last night ), so there's more than enough to go around

    Thanks bro Yixiang for the input.. I bought only 2 more pieces of zebra ottos and took a bag of Orange Otos home.. Ya.. I agreed that they look a bit risky and weak.. In fact the Orange Oto all have sunken belly actually.. But since I asked Auntie to reserve le.. I have to take.. Hope they will survive loh..

    Not too sure about that but you can always ask her to bring in somemore.. Yesterday I went down to get another piece of the orange oto and it seems very stable.. Hopefully there will be more coming in too..

    just went down today...
    quite disappointing. cause they are having nannoptopoma spectabilis.
    not sp peru.
    the orange head is the give away for peru. yet the orange otto that c328 carries have specs of black on the head... n no orange at all..

    above is what c328 carries.

    below is what a true orange otto looks like.

    nonetheless it is still a rare find.

    i can second that. It really looked different from a orange otto. looked more liked a Nannoptopoma spectabilis.

    Posted this on another thread but just in case you missed it: FYI - there were 10 more orange ottos (not sure which type) tonight at c3xx. BTW ... still wondering what you guys paid for your zebra ottos at the same place? Yeah they had more zebras too - at least 15 left.
