Are you breeding your Oto's???

[Magnum Man]

I've found them a hard to actually keep, let alone get them breeding... I was looking at a place that specializes in shrimp, & they list Oto's for sale, that they list as tank bred... I was just curious, if anyone here has actually bred them in an aquarium???

I haven't. For many years, they were considered really difficult, but now I am reading a lot of stories about breeding them. It isn't that uncommon.

I think you have to sort out which species in the Genus though. I'd be curious to see that, since Otos are fairly diverse.

here is the listing, just so you know the species...
