Unidentified gray Otocinclus

Post by BTDarters »

Catfishers,

I recently acquired 3 Otocinclus at my Local Fish Store (LFS) that were labelled as 'Zebra Otocinclus'. As you can probably see from the pictures they are clearly not. Problem is, I can't find out what they are. Does anyone know? The fish are about 1 inch in length.

Good luck! There is very little recorded about undesribed species. If you feel like summarising what you find, I will add it into the site once checked.
