xtra otto food?

[vanvran]

My 2 ottos have cleaned all the algea in my tank! I have a banana plant and a java fern and another tall plant (don't know the name). I drop sinking wafers in once a week but have no idea if they get any of it (I think the cories get it all). What else can I feed them so they don't starve, and how often? Thanks.

I wouldn't worry to much unless the ottos look skinny. If thats the case you can try some romane lettuce or zuchinni pieces for teh veggitarians in your tank.

If they are good otos they will get the food. A hungry oto is a good oto, but they need food and a matured tank.

Hi, Mine love cucumber !!! 30 seconds in the microwave followed by 30 seconds under a cold water rinse. Cut out the center area where the seeds are located ,wrap 1 of those plant weights to weigh it down and they gobble it up . ...........WVleo
