Facts
The Otocinclus Catfish requires a very well-planted tank with rocks and driftwood to provide plenty of hiding spaces. They are very social and need to be kept in groups. In addition to being a great community tank fish, they do a superb job at keeping unwanted algae at bay by eating any algae that develops on the glass or plants.
