What is the differnence between an Oto and a Flying fox? They look similar. I am thinking if they are the same fish with two names.
Does either of them eat the red algea? |

I think you are confused
otos are very small http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=otocinclus&hl=en where as flying foxes are large in comparrison http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&lr...flying+fox+fish Edit I doubt either of them will touch red algea do a google for Rhodophyta that will give you some good suggestions of how to kill it.

Thanks for the answer.
I dont see any Oto's in our market, I have only seen them on pictures and there they looked similar. I see plenty of Flying Foxes on the other hand and a guy in one of the lfs told me they eat red algea while I read they don't. I dont have much of it only on nice looking roots that were in the tank from the previous owner but I would like to get rid of it. |

Their coloration is very similar but flying foxes are quite a bit bigger.
