Shortage of Otocinclus?

[Mama Karoti]

I cannot seem to find these guys in stock anywhere right now, either online or locally. I know they are wild caught, so I am wondering if there is something going on with importing them. Anyone know anything?

Well they are still being listed on the south american suppliers we use here in the uk.

Here in the GTA Ontario a lot of the stock that has come in has been poor and thus its not really coming anymore. I know they have been losing a lot while in transition

I was at my local Petsmart today and they had over 20 in stock. One of the employees said they just got more last night. They had some in stock last week as well.

My Lfs has ottos but haven't gotten any new ones in for a while. They usually have good ottos that are healthy and ft when you buy them.

I'm pretty excited. I went into my LFS this afternoon because I had 20 minutes to kill, and lo they had otos! I got three of them. They have only had them for about a week, but I hated to wait in case they got bought up. Here's hoping they make it! Very neat little fish. Love watching them traveling all over my plants.

Cool, glad you got some. I ordered some in for this week, but I am off work so not sure if we got them

They are fun fish. Mine have been super skittish lately though. They mostly come out at night and hide in the plastic cave during the day. Between them and the nerite snails, they keep the tank pretty darn clean!
