New to otos, but been wanting some for awhile.
Store finally had some that looked good, nice round bellies.

They only had the 3, will be grabbing more.

Maybe? The tail pattern looks closest to this to me.

I have some more photos I can post, theyre a cute bunch.

I did grab a couple more, but one looks different than the others too. Darker, smaller, different shaped tail blotch. Blotch isn't on the tail fin like the others, this one the blotch stops before the tail.

Here are the original ones asked. Macrospilus still the idea?

Would say so yes but your new separate one looks more like O.hoppei.
As you know, oto’s are notoriously hard to id as they go through changes in pattern somewhat with stress and mood.
