    hahaha... thanks to your wisdom.

    How's are they doing in your tank now? Mine is starting to settle down. But one is missing in action, hopefully it is just hiding somewhere...

    Actually, IMHO, the green oto looks more similar to the tiger oto; as opposed to the zebra otos which looks more similar to the normal oto.

    It also seems to be more stable than tiger oto. Therefore, it might be a good tryout for those still keen for tiger oto.

    Found Paraotocinclus logirostris written on the bag, but not sure who wrote it...

    After a long search on google, the nearest I had found is in here:
    http://www.misaki.org/aqua/otocin/ge...girostris.html

    Looks similar, but need to compare closely.

    More "green" ottos in the shrimp tank behind. These people are pretty creative with trade names... I wonder why is it called green otto when there is not a tint of green?

    Don't think that is tiger oto.. it looks so much different.. The link that Merviso post is the 1 that they call green oto and what all of you say C328 selling it. I also saw some at Midori.

    Yes, it's parotocinclus longirostri, my typo...

    Looks like its everywhere now! So far I still have full headcount of these cute little fellows... Seems like a good alternative to Tiger Oto... thou IMHO Tiger Oto looks nicer...

    Though it's a good alternative, the size of an adult green oto will be smaller than Tiger Oto.
