PEPPERMINT OTO – 薄荷小精灵

Peppermint otocinclus is a beautifully and distinctively marked relative of the common otocinclus. It inhabits venezuela’s rio orinoco, where it spends most of its time grazing on submerged driftwood and vegetation. An ideal algae eater for most community or planted aquariums, they will eat filamented algae and diatoms from most surfaces, including the aquarium glass. Like most of their close relatives, they are best kept in groups.
