Which otocinclus is meant when one says "oto"?

Post by peroz »

Hi,
Want to add a few otocinclus to my DP tank. However, I can't decide if it is the otocinclus affinis or macrospilus, that you're all talking about? I can get macrospilus today, but have to order affinis. If there is any real difference, but the size?

I don't think it matters.

I had no idea there were two species...

There are a lot more than just 2, actually. But these two are most talked about on web forums, so I thought I'd ask... Well, next week I'll have a chance to choose, so I will just take the nicer ones.
