Have food growing before the fish arrive

Otocinclus cocama needs an established aquarium with surfaces to graze, rather than a newly cycled tank with little food. Offer suitable sinking foods and vegetable matter as well; do not rely on an algae problem to feed the fish. Ask what the current stock is eating and prepare suitable grazing surfaces in any quarantine aquarium too.

The Golden and Tiger offers are listed as Otocinclus sp., which leaves the species unresolved. Zebra is listed as Otocinclus cocama; flexilis and the related Parotocinclus spilurus have separate listings. Compare their own adult needs, group guidance, water and companions. For cocama, planted cover and small, peaceful companions help this timid grazer reach food without competition.
