Otocinclus mura[3] is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it is known only from the Amazon River basin in Brazil.[1][4][5] It is a small loricariid, although it is not particularly small when compared with other Otocinclus species, reaching 3.6 cm (1.4 inches) SL.[4] While it is known to appear in the aquarium trade, it does not have a widely used common name.[6]
