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
looks like C328 gonna be packed like sardines this evening
supplier brought in 150 pieces of zebra otos (left 140 pieces last night ), so there's more than enough to go around
have about 15 pieces in the plastic tank containers near the cashier around 5pm..saw the peru altos.super nice...in a bag by itself...but guess too risky for me...
Getting into Fishy Business
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..

i took 2 more zebra otos for my office tank this evening. this batch is much larger than the previous one earlier this year (4-5 months ago?), but the pattern not as nice
THE MYSTERIOUS ORANGE OTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha illumnae, how many pieces were left??
ONLY Blue Zebras.
i haven't been there for a couple of days already. i heard new stock of zebra otos came in on thursday (as of wednesday, only 1 left). Not sure about the Orange otos...there were 2-3 pieces left on Wed
hey i was there too
the zebra oto looks huge compared to what i bought the last time
yup this batch of zebra otos huge and stable
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..

ONLY Blue Zebras.
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.
