A LFS had a few of these listed as 'Giant Oto', any ideas as to what it is? Right now they are about 6cm long (still at LFS).

if you like them, best get a group!
these things are very peaceful, but really like to be with a few more.
they don't like to be alone.
It's a very very good algae-eater, and it really appreciates bogwood. it likes pleco-tabs, peas, cucumber and spinache as well.
I dunno if any Hypoptopoma or Oto needs wood, but I've kept a few and they were almost always chewing wood, when they weren't cleaning plants or glass.
It's a shy fish; the tankmates should be utterly peaceful; definitely a no-go in any cichlidtank, safe for Angels or Apisto's.
another bad match is to cram it in a tank filled with L-numbers; this fish doesn't "hold it's own" at all, when confronted with Panaque or Chaetostoma species.
sturisoma and Dasyloricaria's make good tankmates, so do Corydoras etc.
