i have a few of these fish and my tank is now running low on algae (i let it build up/grow before getting the fish). they dont seem to appreciate flake etc. quite like my other fish and they also seem to ignore the algae wafers i put in. what should i try to feed them? will they eventually eat the flake and algae wafers?

Just been looking up Otos and found this posted at another forum...
"These little cuties also love spinach, zucchini, romaine lettuce, and brussel sprouts. Microwave or cook veges to soften them before serving. To keep them from floating, lettuce can be put in a vege clip, and the other ones tied on to something heavy with a rubber band, although cooking long enough will make them sink. Otos often die within a few weeks of buying for no apparent reason, due to suspected inhumane capture methods or lack of proper food at the store. However, if you can keep them alive for a month, you should be good to go."
