Need to verify it, though.

Thanks HH!!!
my fella looks a bit spotted ... while the hoppei looks patchy (layman description
) and think there's a patch under the dorsal fin, and another between the caudal fin and the dorsal fin.
How can I go about verifying if the fella in my pic is a o. hoppei?
Thanks!

I think it's more likely
.
Otocinclus hoppei has a single spot at the base of the caudal fin, while
O. macrospilus has two.
