GIANT OTO'S

[Magnum Man]

This is kind of unexpected, looking at the close up of the Oto’s mouth above… they appear to be actually eating some of the wood… this is a well seasoned stick, in the tank ( the one I apply Repashi to, once every week or two ) you can see the lighter spots on the stick, where they have eaten the darker seasoned surface off… I’ve had Pleco’s that actually ate wood before, but all have had visible teeth… these Oto’s appear to have the normal “bristlely” lips

A fresh picture of the giants ( all 3 ) taken tonight… Sid n the front

1st I’ve witnessed this… even though these fins are small, for the overall size of the fish, it appears as if “Sid” can hang on using his fins, similar to Hillstream’s, and some other fish that inhabit the fast flowing waters…
