| − | :Difficult. Females are slightly bigger than males. | + | |tank_compatibility=:An excellent peaceful community fish. There is, however, records of this fish sucking on slime coats of slow moving large bodied fish such as [[Angelfish]] and [[Discus]]. This is due to them be kept in near starvation condition in the fish shop and they've learned 'bad habits'. The Peppered Oto is a little more defensive of its food than other species of Oto. The Peppered Oto '''must''' be kept in groups of 5 or more, they are very social with their own species. |

| − | + | |identification=:Similar in shape to other Otocinclus. This Oto, however, lacks the typical nose-to-tail dark band, instead it has a creamy-yellow body colour and is covered in spots/blotches of olive green/brown. Some slightly larger darker grey/black spots can be seen running down the lateral line. Their colour will change depending on environment, and their colouration mimics other catfish such as ''[[Corydoras habrosus]]''. | |
