Hello! I wanted to purchase 3 Otocinclus but 4 ended up in the bag. When I got home, 1 of them was missing it's stripe. What kind of Otocinclus is this? Is this another kind of catfish? Thank you in advance for your help!!! I want to make sure he eats algae and not his tank mates

(Fish on top is the fish in question. Fish on bottom is what the rest looked like that I purchased).

Hi ang567,

Your fish looks bulkier than a typical oto. Could your fish be a or ? Can you get more photos?

Cheers, Eric

I look forward to more pics, but for me this is a miscoloured Oto.

I would agree with jools but a few more pics would be nice.

Looks like a 'miscoloured oto' from here. possibly an older female.
