I can't remember for sure what the store told me when I bought this. I've looked at all sorts of pics of what I thought it was and what it could be, but nothing seems to match exactly.

Look at the next post on this thread for more pics.

Thanks for the link. I think it's actually a Garra Ceylonensis, but it's hard to find common names for these. Whatever it is, I'm fairly certain it's not what the store told me it was. I thought it was an oto or a siamese ae.

Mr. Green Was Very Close

Today, I went into the fish store where I bought it and they had some more. They called it a Garra Pingi. Here is a link to a site that has info on it. Maybe one of the other Garra's that mistergreen linked to is the same one with a different name.

hmmm. i don't know if it's garra pingi, the head doesn't seem right...
well, you thought you got an oto or SAE but these guys can't be dependent on eating/cleaning algae.
