Orange Head Otocinclus

Orange Head Otocinlus

The orange head otocinclus is an active algae eater from Peru that grows to about an inch and a half. More colorful, larger, and more expensive than the more common algae eating otocinclus care should be taken to ensure these fish get the nutrients they need. We suggest algae wafers and a piece of driftwood should be part of the plan. We doubt if there will be enough natural algae in the fish tank to keep them happy.
