I love my ottos, and with the shrimp, they make a good combination. I was wondering if I should get some Amano shrimp (Caridina japonica) when I transfer these to a new, larger tank? I have Cherry Red Shrimp (Neocaridina denticulata red variation), and Otocinclus affinis, and want to get some other variations of otto's. I have read that the Amanos eat a different type of algea as the red cherry shrimp and that otto's eat another type of algea. I would like to see if the combination of the three would help.
P.S.- Yes, I have seen them swim, it is definatly a treat. I love how the rest on their fins, kinda like Polyepterus.
