Información del producto

🐟 Wave Striped Oto – (Otocinclus caxarari) – Peaceful South American Algae-Eating Catfish

The Wave Striped Oto (Otocinclus caxarari) is a small, peaceful freshwater catfish from South America, prized for its delicate wave-like horizontal stripes and efficient algae-eating abilities. Native to clear, well-oxygenated streams, this species spends most of its time grazing on algae and biofilm, making it a valuable addition to community aquariums.

Its gentle nature, small adult size, and active foraging behavior make the Wave Striped Oto ideal for planted tanks, nano aquariums, and peaceful community setups. Like other Otocinclus, it thrives in groups and prefers a stable, mature aquarium with plenty of surfaces to graze on.
