I got four of these guys plus one of another species, it would seem. That one seems to me most similar to O. Vestitus, but these look like O. Huaorani to me:

These are the only fish in the 5.5 gal, and already scrubbing away. I fear the one I am calling an o. vestitus may not have been a healthy specimen. He's scrubbing away at the anubias though. Here's that one:

I apologize for the links. I'll figure out the image tags eventually.
Thanks,

Can someone confirm Oto. Huaorani/Vestitus IDs please?

Re: Oto IDs please?
Looking again, I think the smallest of the group is, in fact, another o. vestitus, making it two of them and three of the o. huaorani.
Holy cow, are they ever the cleanup crew! The almost fuzzy anubias leaves are now sparkling clean, and the glass is immaculate. On Monday we'll start the zucchini, because the don't seem super interested in the algae wafers. Is there a dry food anyone has found them to prefer?

Re: Can someone confirm Oto. Huaorani/Vestitus IDs please?
I have a couple O. Vestitus and as you say they clean better than Molly Maids. Mine like when I soften algae wafers and paste it on a piece of slate with egg white and let it dry then introduce it to the tank,within 5 minutes they are all over it like a hobo on a ham sandwich.Enjoy, GO WINGS
