I am seriously thinking of getting another 12 Otos tomorrow.
I may take some photos of some of the fish as I noticed a whiptail catfish but couldn't remember which species, it has to fit in with my Rio Ucayali theme.
They have 20% off aquariums including Aqua Oak and 20% off filters including Fluval and Aquamanta plus 20% off tropical and cold water fish.

They are not zebras (I wish).
These are your less expensive more common species, hard to identify at the moment (maybe affinis, macrospilus, vittatus or similar). I'll have a closer look later when the lights come on.
I spoke to Aqualife Leyland and they have a delivery coming of Zebra Otos at £17.99 each (ouch!)

I was going to say they're usually over £10 each......I'm not surprised they're even more expensive now. ;)

I re-visited the local MA store.
Here is a pic (not brilliant) of some of those Tiger Oscars, nice markings.
They were marked at £20 but 20% off makes them £16.

I didn't buy any more OTos as I have 12 x Otos in the 550L aquarium and my original 8 x Otos in the 120L aquarium.
I was interested in the Whiptail catfish but unfortunately they are reserved.

Do love my oscars, only thing holding me back from adding another 2 is how mine would react.
