Otocinclus Spawning

Anyone have any? I've been searching the internet, and found a few things, but I can use a lot more.

I where I've been hunting for information.

But...I'm looking for all of it I can get at this point.

Thanks much

I've found that I'm supposed to lower my PH a bit, i.e. the water is supposed to be soft.

Anyone have an idea on how to do that?

I've heard peat moss, but I'm not sure.

Thanks,

You need to search this site - AlexandCarmen have a long and very interesting thread about the spawning of their oto's IIRC.

Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll have to read it this weekend.

So far, my otos seem to be very happy fish. I had thought most catfish were night creatures, but they seem active during the day and at night. I keep adding in real and fake plants into the tank, so I'm hoping.
