I was at petsmart today getting some stuff for my cats and thought I would check out the fish too. And they had oto's! This petsmart actually has a nice selection of fish but I was pretty surprised they had these guys

Here's a couple pictures of one that I got before they all decided to stick to the back wall of the tank

Otos are probably the most adorable fish there is. Have you ever had anymore before? I hope yours survive. They are notorously difficult to keep alive for the first week or so that you get them since they've been through so much. Afterward they are very hardy fish though.

I haven't had them before. They seem pretty happy so far.

They are pretty cute. I thought they're little suckermouths would creep me out like plecos do but they don't

I've had the same experiences with them. If they make it the first week to ten days, you're good to go. A good drip aclimation helps out a ton as well.

Great looking fish!thumbs2:
