How many Otos should I go for?

[daza]

Now that my tank has been cycled and going okay for over two months, and there is a large build up of algae, I think it is approaching the time to add Otos.

How many do you think would suit my tank and existing fish as shown in my sig?

I don't plan on adding anything else afterwards so the Otos will complete my stock.

thanks

I went for 4. Good, even number and it won't overcrowd your tank and wil let them be in a group, which they like to be in.

Since 6 is my fav number I'd say six. They are cute little zippers and they can hide in plain sight like you would not believe. Cheese is right, they're somewhat timid and love more of their own kind. Have fun with them. They, if memory serves correctly(and it never does! ) come from fast flowing streams in Brazil. I enjoy mine alot, they make a nice contrast but trying to find them is impossible at times. Another thread in this forum really covered that, how they seem to disappear. Neat fish!
