What is an o cat ?
o cat = Otocinclus catfish.
Most common of them I believe is the Otocinclus vittatus. They are found in many stores and are sold around $3.00 each. Now these guys LOVE to be in a group, so getting at least 4-6 should be bought for a 29g tank and you should have upto and over 20 of them in larger tanks. When you see them school and play together you will understand. They are big eaters of Algae (but they are very small) therefore having many of them is still important. Since their small size they should not be kept with fish who might look at them as a quick meal, though, they are VERY quick swimmers.
