Different Oto's Bioload

[TheJ0kerrr]

I'm looking to buy some Otocinclus and I was messing around with some bioload/stocking tool to see how many I could get in my 10 gallons and found that only the Vestitus was really a good fit. The others seem to have a higher bioload as my stocking level and filtration get out of the "comfort zone" with them.

I don't know which kind my LFS are keeping and i'm a bit afraid I won't be able to ID them properly when I go get them. Don't think I can count of them to tell me anything other than they are Oto's...

So can I really go wrong with one kind vs the other?
