OTOCINCLUS COCAMA – 斑马小精灵

A zebra oto (Otocinclus cocama) is one of those rare finds in the pet store. Its distinctive black body with white stripes gives it the zebra moniker, while the scientific name is derived from the Peruvian Indians (Cocama-Cocamilla) in the region where they originate. Like other Otocinclus catfish, this one needs a tank environment with several hiding places and adequate algae or supplemental food sources to maintain a small shoal. The best tank setup for zebra otos includes several live plants and a consistent source of algae – whether it be by naturally generated means or through the addition of wafers.
