Otocinclus or...?
I caught this small Loricarid in a stream near Rio Oyapoque.
Who can tell me the name of the species?
Thanks in advance

Re: Otocinclus or...?
It looks like a crossbeed between Otocinclus and Hypoptoma to me
The eyes are just a little too hig for Hypoptoma, the rest does fit

Re: Otocinclus or...?
Is this the unnamed hypoptopomatine genus found in the Oyapock River?
Re: Otocinclus or...?
Compare it with the description and pics of Parotocinclus.
Remember the commun P. jumbo doesn`t realy look like a Parotocinclus, so don`t compare with this one.
Rather with P. britski or P. collinsae.
With Oyapock River you mean the river that borders french guyana and brasil, right? Not that there is another one called the same.

Yes, that's the river.
Parotocinclus seems right. Can't figure out wich yet.
