I am like 95% convinced that 1 of my otocinclus is currently gravid and i am so exited!
A lot of people (even the lfs) told me that it was a dumb dream to want to breed otocinclus but now i feel like i can do it.
Just like a lot of people say, my story started when i didn't do a water change for 1 month on my tank with 8 otocinclus ( i was checking parameters daily to make sure they where ok) then i did a 60% water change and left the water cold at arround 20°C for arround 2 days, all this to simulate a rain season, and today my otocinclus seems gravid!!
For what i have read i need to feed solid foods as soon as they finish their yolk so i am ready to monitor the tank for eggs and for fry.
But still, i want a second opinion, does this fish look gravid to you?
If so i will keep everyone updated on the babies.

Looks like it's expecting a happy event :)
What kind of Otocinclus is it ?
 
Mine has look liked that pretty much since I got it. It constantly is eating and pooping, but I haven't had any eggs yet, so I don't think it's pregnant.
