Otocinclus cats may be poisonous!

Pretty sure it's the spines. I brought home a spotted climbing perch that decided my ottos looked tasty. Found it the next morning with half the otto still hanging out of it's mouth. I cut open the perch and found the dorsal and pectoral fins of the otto sticking into it's mouth/throat. Lesson learned for me, read up on fish before bringing them home :).
