Yeah they're expensive, though not as expensive as O. Eques, but still.Oh wow, I didn't know that!
I'm gonna take that as a sign that my instincts are good, lol. Makes sense now that they're more of a mid-water swimmer too!
I knew certain sub-species of otos are often found near specific species of cories (or whatever those species are named now) seemingly as a mimic/safer among the cories and in numbers thing, but didn't know about this! Nice.
They're gorgeous! £25 per fish is.. ouch! I can see why you opted for something else!
My big bucket list corydoras is G. Gracilis though, its adorable.
