These tiny suckermouth catfish typically grow to just 1–2 inches, making them ideal for community tanks, nano setups, and planted aquariums where they won't disturb other inhabitants.\n\nOtos are diurnal and social, spending their days actively grazing on algae and biofilm without damaging plants or substrate. They're non-destructive and gentle, thriving in groups of 3 or more. With proper care—including stable water conditions, adequate hiding spots, and supplemental feeding—they can live 3–5 years, sometimes longer.\n\nPerfect for aquarists seeking a reliable, low-impact cleanup crew that adds movement and character to any freshwater setup.","brand":"AB AQUATICS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46576130097254,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/9963\/3254\/files\/images_9278ef76-ba8c-4587-9e15-a750e52cd155.jpg?v=1786521508","url":"https:\/\/abaquatics.in\/products\/otocinclus","provider":"AB AQUATICS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
