Sounds like an Otto. :D I used to have half a dozen of them but never actually saw them except for brief times when they would dart to a different plant. Eventually my pictus cat decided they tasted good.:eek:

That's an Otto. Tiny little things.:D

Yep, I also had an Oto around for quite some time, until one of my Banjo Catfish decided he might taste good... Turds. Still have my albino bushynose pleco though! :)

That must be one sharp looking fish.

Man, we don't get anything around here. :mad: I end up having to mail order anything different. My next fish is going to be a zebra pleco. I have wanted one of those for a while but don't like the price tag.:D

Yeah, he/she is sharp looking, when you get the magnifying glass out :) Only about an inch long right now. My local fish store is family owned and always gets tons of awesome looking, unique fish in. They've had freshwater eels, even had a lungfish once(VERY cool). I love not having to go to Petco or Petsmart for sickly fish.

oh we get sooooooo many unique fish here... and i can get pretty much anything i want special ordered in as well... so my tanks are great to stare into.

i love otos - they clean sooo well. when they attach to the side of the tank... you'll see their little suction cup mouths. ;)

i am soooooo excited reading this thread... i loooove seeing someone get bit by the fish bug :)

Weve got a fish shop here that absolutely wonderful, the place that got me bit by the bug:). They have pretty much everything you can imagine, freshwater stingrays, every type of coral you can imagine, a shark egg sac (so cool, you can see the little shark in there) and SO MUCH MORE.
