Question about my otto

purpleflower · 01-29-2008, 05:22 PM

I thought otto's stayed fairly small. I was in a store and saw a fish that looked like a really big otto it was at least four to five inch's. Do otto's get that big or maybe it was a different type of fish?

It wasn't an otto. Most likely a pleco of some kind.

Not an Otto, they stay about 2 inches. As they mature they tend to get a bit "fatter" but thats about all I have noticed so far!

It might be a flying fox, but I don't know how big they get. I know that flying foxes look a lot like Ottos. If they stay small like an Otto then it wouldn't be them either, but thats my undereducated guess.

Well, there are species of otto that get quite large compared to the common one... but I highly doubt any common store would even dream of getting them in
