Re: which otocinclus?
Hi all,
I've got no idea on the species, but I bought some very similar looking about a year ago in the UK, and they have remained very small.
Your best hope for an ID would be to try and compare the pattern on the caudal peduncle and tail with the species listed in the Cat-eLog.

Re: which otocinclus?
has a clear caudal fin base. They seem to be closest to (an "upper amazon" species) but I don't have a very firm view of that species or the ID.

O. mura seems to be them, thanks so much Jools!
Would you like for me to get better, more detailed pictures for the CatElog?

Re: which otocinclus?
I bought some of these from Msjinkzd. They are really cool. They seem to be more active than my other otos (I now have 4 species) and are the smallest of them all. In fact, I like them so much that I ordered some more. They arrive tomorrow
