Jesse Galvez Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Hello all! First time post here. I recently bought three fish thinking they were otos. Have I been bamboozled and are my poor nanos about to be eaten? Happy thanksgiving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dyer Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) those look an awful lot like Chinese "algae" eaters to me (algae in quotes as they aren't really known for eating much algae). They can grow up to be little hellions and quite territorial. If they are new I would consider returning them as to my eyes you did not get what you asked for.
