Otocinclus Catfish, affectionately known as an Oto, renowned as one of the best algae-eating fish in the hobby. With a maximum size of around 2 inches, the Otocinclus is the perfect addition to any shrimp or planted aquarium, diligently keeping algae growth in check. At Flip Aquatics, we have relied on this exceptional fish since the beginning of our journey in the hobby.
Incorporating the Otocinclus into your aquarium offers unparalleled algae control. For a highly efficient cleaning crew, combine them with other algae eaters like nerite snails and amano shrimp. Together, they create an unstoppable force, ensuring your planted aquarium remains pristine and visually appealing. We highly recommend the Otocinclus for this purpose.
Scientifically known as Otocinclus vestitus, these catfish possess remarkable algae-consuming abilities, making them an invaluable asset to maintaining a healthy aquatic environment. With their small size and peaceful nature, Otocinclus can coexist harmoniously with other tank inhabitants, including shrimp and plants.
To ensure the health and vitality of our Otocinclus catfish, we provide them with a balanced diet. Our feeding regimen includes a mix of Northfin Veggie and NorthFin Community foods, with their main source of sustenance being Northfin Kelp Wafers. This combination guarantees their nutritional needs are met, promoting their overall well-being.

Arrived alive and healthy. They are a great addition to any tank where you want small algea eaters.
Have wanted an otocinclus catfish for quite some time but was hesitant because people say they are delicate and difficult to keep. Regardless, I'm really happy that I decided to go for it and buy one. It arrived very quickly and is healthy. Started eating algae right away. Has a cute personality. Really love my little guy.
