Thansk for all the compliments guys! These fish are awesome, tons of fun to watch and so far so good, they're all over the glass... need to get them some plants

Very very cool! I'm glad to see more and more of these interesting suckers coming out of Peru. Who'd you get em from if you don't mind my asking?

I got them from a local shop actually... it's called A Place for Pets... and if anyone out there beats me to them before tomorrow morning... I'll find you... :angryfire:

I work at another LFS in the area and we've been trying to figure out what dealer this guy goes through to get these things...

I have dubbed them oto thingies because their proper name is too long to say in a normal conversation... :

Anyways, I picked up 5 more oto thingies today... he said that's all they had but I think there was one other hidden in there somewhere lol

And I also picked up 2 pairs of livebearers, one pair of Micropoecilia picta (reds) and another pair of Micropoecilia parae (red melanzonas)

They're alot harder to take pics of than the oto thingies

Thanks! They're definitely fun fish, behave pretty much exactly the same as any other otos...

Bad news is I lost 2 the night after introducing them, even though I drip acclimated them for 6 hours *sigh*
