hi there i'm from the UK and i see that alot of people have oto's in their tanks because they do a great job cleaning the tank but i have not seen them in the UK. Does anyone if they are sold in the UK?

i didn't see them at all around here either, until i asked, and then they got some in for me. you might to try asking your LFS to do the same, becasue they are great for eating the algae in the tank :)

Yep. Don't know where you're based, but they are certainly available round here. Not always, but from time to time.
