But then yesterday, I visited the Kesgrave tropical Ebay store and found a similar type of catfish that I never knew existed!http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT
These were the last two of a batch at Aquajardin, that I bought mid summer, who were were labelled as "Octocinclus gingantes." The two of them regular scour the plants and tank glass for algae, but they have always enjoyed having the odd bit of Tetra Prima and any defrosted food that I give the tanks as a treat. They are ~6cm TL and are gogeous, peaceful fish, I only wish that I would have been able to give them more conspecifics.
Hence I am really intrested in what you guys think about their ID, as if they are Oxyropsis, I could up their numbers using Kesgrave
