Thanks, bre! The tank is 3 gallons.

Isn't Ecco a goldfish? You may need to get him a 30 gallon tank.

No, Ecco isn't in there. My neon tetras are along with a small little otto.

That's a cute little tank! Must be a nanocube? I've always heard otto referred to as ottocats, so I can understand how she'd say it was a catfish.

Hes a darling little catfish (i'm a sucker for any sucker fish or fish with whiskers), and an excellent choice for a smaller tank -- and Kalei is right, hes in the Oto family --

Also, Pleckos and Algae eaters are in the Catfish Family as well, even though there are so many different species, and many look so different from each other

Nice tank! I have neon tetras, I love them.

Thanks guys! Allison, I have always loved catfish, especially the tiny species. Personally, I think they are all very cute. Lucky the lady was there though because we almost bought a catfish that grows up to 18 inches! It was a pond fish but he was the same size as the little guy I have now. I like the tetras, but I love my little Otto. I decided to name him Draco since he looks like a miny dragon.

By the way, thanks for the link! It looks like an interesting website.

I hear ya! Gotta love the catfishes! And i'm glad the lady at the store pointed you in the right direction -- most of the plecos and such that are sold at local fish stores and pet stores end up being like the commons -- start out really cute at an inch long (and reasonably inexpensive), and before you know it you've got a monster at more than 12" on your hands!

I've been really into the catfish (and pleco - suckermouth catfish) as well as having fallen in love with loaches lately (i'm a sucker for those Clown Loaches ... so silly!)
