IDENTIFYING OTOCINCLUS

[nagus]

Can someone please help me to identify/clarify my new fishy friends. Having just returned from my LFS, where I brought (under advisement) x 3 what they called Black Otocinclus, the problem is that i've been searching all the web for information about these little fish, there seems to be a lot of different names for the same fish, but nowhere can i find reference to a Black otocinclus. At the moment they are very small (about 1" long) and yes they are black?

Has anyone got more info ?

Check them out on the Planet Catfish Cat e log, there are four or five species listed on there with pictures.
