Should I Get Some?

[ghent_3rd]

I keep getting a fine smatter of green algae on the front of my glass, not a big problem at all but I can think I can use it as an excuse to get some Otos!!!

I want to geta few so they make an impact and really look the part. My tank is already fairly heavily stocked but I'm guessing the Otos are not going to add a great bio-load to the tank. I'm probably looking at getting 5 or 6. The tank is 180 ltr, filtered by 2 internals. Ignore what fish I have in my profile, that is wrong, just haven't got round to change it yet. Just really want to know what people think about Otos in a tank this size?

A group of ottos should be fine together. Just make sure that you don't have any fish that can eat them, because like all catfish, they have sharp fins that can cause infections if your fish were to eat them. What kind of fish do you already have in there? Also, I have read that ottos tend to eat brown algae, I don't know about green algae. you might want to look into algae eating shrimp, unless of course your fish are too large.
