Which cat to get?

Do ottos cost alot of money? what is their real name?
 
I'll find small ones that way I can get 2 or 3.
 
Pygmy cory cats (Corydoras Pygmaeus) are wonderful, stay under 1" long. You'd need a group of at least 3. They're wonderful fish for a peaceful community. Any of the Otocinclus cats are also perfect, they get slightly larger, around 1.5", I'm sure you could get away with just having two though they prefer to be in groups.
 
Well I was planning to get 2 otocinclus. Here's what I want:

4 Neon Tetras
1 male betta
2 Dwarf ottos

It'll work.. RIGHT?
 
I think they max out at 1 -1.5"

Yes, and I've seen them at petsmart too for around $1.50. They do have fancy striped ones too if you look for them (haven't seen them except in photos though).

I think those are called zebra otos, but I've never run across around my parts. But they are cool looking.
