Hello,
I was at a LFS and saw the fish in the picture. In my humble opinion they are some sort of otocinclus. I can 't seem to find the right species.
Anybody any idea? All help is welcome!

Thanx Dave Rinaldo,
The species you are pointing out is the species I found online yesterday. They do look similar and especially the dark color and the lines along its sides, which are hard to see.
Are you a keeper of this species?

I only have a singleton from an old group. I caught him sitting at the front of the tank just now!

Wow, that is a really great shot. Mine, i bought the 2 of which the LFS and i didn't know what they were, do look similar. Especially the tail, that seems to be 1/2 colored and the special mouth, looks like a crocodile to me, are very similar.
I added 3 pics. 2 of the belly of either fish and 1 of the biggest one (in my opinion a female).
- Side view
- Belly view possible male
- Belly view possible female...yellowish belly because of eggs...?
Click on the pictures to see them upright, like they were supposed to be!
