(Quote form The Aquarium Wiki)
Common names: Zebra otocinclus catfish, Zebra oto.
Size: 3.5-4.5cm
pH: 6.0 – 7.5
Tempº: 21ºC - 25ºC
Tank region: Bottom layer
Origin: Peru.
Gender: Difficult to determine, although adult Females are larger.
Notes: The Zebra Oto has only been part of the aquarium trade since the new millennia, but it has already made quite an impact with it’s fantastic looks. Even better, it is just as peaceful and fun to watch as any other Otocinclus species, not to mention it’s trademark Otocinclus algae eating quality’s. As with other otos, the Zebra oto is a schooling species so be sure to keep it in groups of at least 3 – although 6 is better. They enjoy a planted tank, where their algae eating qualities will be greatly appreciated!
