:An excellent peaceful community fish. There is, however, records of suckermouth fish sucking on slime coats of slow moving large bodied fish such as [[Angelfish]] and [[Discus]]. Therefore, they are best kept with active but non-aggressive tank mates. Keep all Otos in groups of 3-4 or more.

:An excellent peaceful community fish. There is, however, records of suckermouth fish sucking on slime coats of slow moving large bodied fish such as [[Angelfish]] and [[Discus]]. Therefore, they are best kept with active but non-aggressive tank mates. Keep all Otos in groups of 6 or more. These are a social fish and in their natural habitat are found in shoals of thousands.

:The ''O.vittatus'' is identifiable from the other similar Otocinclus species in that it does have a thick bold horizontal line running down it's lateral line from nose to the base of the caudal tail, and, unlike most other similar Otocinclus, there is a thick white line running above this line, again from the nose to the base of the caudal fin. The base of the caudal should not have a large spot like the ''[[Otocinclus macrospilus]]'', the black lateral line should run into the caudal without becoming thicker or blurred.
