Very large Otocinclus cocama

Post by Melander »

I have kept these fish for about eight months now and especially the two females have grown very well in this period, unfortunately I was only able to acquire three individuals.

Today I moved them to another tank and took the opportunity to take some shots, I did not realize how large they had become before this.

Would this information be of use for the Cat-elog as I saw the SL is recorded as 36mm?

Both photos are of the same fish, different angle.

Yes it would, I'd be inclined to move the SL to 42mm. Thanks, this is really helpful.

Glad I could help and 42mm looks right.

Good way to measure fish though. So simply, why didn't I think of that?!
