The ones I had when I lived in AZ were found in w/ a large batch of
Otocinclus. I have found them thus on about 3 separate occaisions. If you
know of any stores in your area that receive large quantities of Otos at a
time, look thru the batches when they arrive and you may well find some C.
pygmaeus there, too. :)
Good luck!
