    i doubt we will see these in SA anytime soon but they are awesome.

    I love these little fellas!! Been searching for them with a couple of importers< and basically the same reply.... 'Not a chance, unless they come in with a catch of regular Ottos or similar'

    Real shame, cos I'd love them in my tank!!

    Still, I'd imagine they'd cost a fortune!!

    Cheers
    G!

    Wow, they remind me of miniature clown plecos. They really make normal oto's look huge :D

    Those are lovely.. I will ask some of the UK shops if they can get them here.. would be lovely to have a tank with 10 or more of them.
