I will be away from my computer this weekend, but I will try to post pictures of them early next week. They were shipped to a wrong address, made it back to the seller without any problems then made it to me once again with no problems. Hopefully that is the worst hardache these fish have to endure. They will be going into a 10 gal planted tank with my flagfish and otocats.
Does anyone know how they breed and what they eat? I do not have a native fish of north america book ( which I would love to find if someone could suggest one to me??) so any info would be helpful/greatful!

Here are just a few quick pics, they are not the best because they still haven't settled in yet, but it is decent! Looking forward to more colors showing. I fed all the other fish and 3/4 of the new ones ate flake food, so live will be a treat!

Great fish! I love otos.
So you like the otos or the fundulus rubrifrons? lol
I love my oto cats too, just seems that these two either do not like new oto cats, or something is always wrong with the new ones because I can add more to have a "school/shoal" of oto cats, but these two are the only ones left. I wish their fry would live longer, but no success.
I am very happy the my rubrifrons are doing great! I hope that they start spawning soon, but they still have an inch-1.5" till full grown. Their colors are really showing up great as they calm down into the tank.

I like them both! LOL I've never kept the rubrifrons, but they look cool. I have a few native killies, bluefins, seminole and flagfish. I like them.
It does seem to be hard to get good otocinclus. I think they are starved a lot of the time when the shops have them. I have a small group in a 5 gallon tank where there is very little competition for food. That's the first time I've had good luck with them. They've even spawned a couple of times.

So last night I witnessed my two males fighting over the pregnant female and watched the spawning take place. I doubt anything will hatch due to me not having the correct types of plants in there, but they bred on a piece of driftwood with mini java ferns covering it. I was able to count 40 eggs with many more being dispursed in the grain of the wood and onto the sand. I do hope to get some babies, but only time will tell!
