albirdy Planted Tank Obsessed	wow, never heard of these. anyone willing to comment on experiences?


gillie Algae Grower	I believe this is what is called a Pitbull Pleco.


Sparkle Newbie	Per the above comment, I thought the Pitbull Pleco was the Parotocinclus Jumbo?


kjplanted Algae Grower	i heard of these i see one in my fish shop very pretty does the same thing as plain otto


Tyger Life Giver	Parotocinclus maculicauda is definitely an interesting fish; however, I do not believe these are true members of the Otocinclus family (note the lack of an adipose fin, fin between dorsal and tail fin, in the Otocinclus genera which differentiates it from Parotocinclus).
