Otocinclus and shrimp babies - truth or rumour?
Finley posted a topic in General Questions/Discussions
I'm keen to hear from anyone who has first hand experience of keeping correctly identified Otocinclus catfish with shrimp.

There are also stories of Otocinclus chowing down on shrimplets, and even in one case on adults, so now that belief is also being repeated. There are many cases of Otocinclus being confused with Siamese Algae Eaters and other similar looking fish. I want to get to the truth. Can anyone who has ever kept definite Otocinclus with shrimp please tell me your experiences and observations? BTW, for ID... These are Otocinclus, with the sucker mouth and spot on the tail root: These are not:
