Ok folks...I need your help in the Virginia area. I have duplicated my current 10g Oto tank and am now looking for Otocinclus Cocama (aka the Zebra Oto). I have seen some online but of course the shipping is gonna kill me. At $12/fishy and nearly $50 for overnight shipping....youchers!

So...If you can put feelers out to your LFS to see if any of them can find them, I would greatly appreciate it. This would save me a ton on shipping.

There is of course no guarantees to success, but in the event of successfull breeding, I would be offering a "finders fee/discount/free fishy" to the parties that can assist.

Thank ya kindly!

I just ordered and received some fish from corysrus (they carry what you are looking for at $10 ea), and the shipping was about 1/2 that. Of course, there was no live arrival guarantee and they were shipped USPS, but out of 25 fish ordered, 27 arrived alive! No DOAs. I see a lot of bad experiences with corysrus, but I have used them 3 different times with no problems. Good luck.

No problems, I never got a reply from one LFS I contacted. But will call around a couple that I know of in the area and see what they can do.

never give up...never surrender. ;o)

Just hoping I can find some within traveling distance to avoid the price of shipping. That will work out to twice as much if I have to go that route.
