[Magnum]

i came into my lfs today and i saw a new fish labled as a butterfly algea eater. it looked cool and i so i got him. he looked like a ray or flounder but had the features of a pleco, but just his fins are like a rays fins. i've been trying to look it up but have come empty handed so far , so now i need help from all you wonderful fish lovers .
if anyone of you know what it is than some info on it would be most appreciated .

This little fish is also known as Dwarf stingray plec, Buttlerfly plec, Hong Kong plec, Borneo plec, Hill stream loach, Borneo sucker (SirMinion posted all these different names a few days ago in this thread http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=86435
just google any one of the names and you will come up with plenty of info on them such as this: http/www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/pfk/...?article_id=142

Oto's are small algae eating plecs which like to be in a largish group but i do hear that they can survive in twos. They are quite delicate fish so your water quality needs to be up to scratch. Keep your nitrates low as possible. The problem with Otos is that they can just suddenly die in the first couple of weeks even though the water is spot on. If they survive after the first couple of weeks you should be fine. They really need a planted tank to live or else they will usually die. They feed on some types of algae eg. brown algae. If they dont have any algae to feed on feed the sinking algae wafers or catfish pellet/tabs and feed them some cucumber, zuccni(spl) once or twice a week. Also try other greens like lettice and see if they go for it as well. I would feed Oto's once a day after lights off.

BTW hillstream loaches prefer cooler water i believe.
