okay-one more Otto Question

[cherrybarbbaby]

Will they eat spirulina Algae flake food if it lands at the bottom of the tank?
I give it to my platies so I wanted to know if it was good for ottos to

I hope this is not a dumb question...if so sorry in advance.
Thanks

I've never seen mine eat flakes if they happen to land on them on the bottom of the tank

Thanks for the response

Its funny becasue I looked in on my ottos and one is sucking on the shrimp pellet that put in for my cory?

Is that normal

I did end up getting a plant...its some sort of aquatic grass...it seemed the most "alive" plant at the ifs.

Most grasslike plants tend to require high light in a tank. I have my tank setup to maintain aquatic plants but i still have trouples with grasslike plants...usually microsword

Hi Mustang !!!

Thanks for the info

I don't know who long this poor little plant will last!

I hope the ottos have some fun w/it before its gone.

I'm not getting a warm fuzzy feeling about this grass. I don't have any special lights or anything....I guess i didn't think this plant thing thru....duh



I'll do my best to keep it alive.

Hi Dwarfs

Thats good to know, I will keep trying the discs, I have the tetra Min Variety wafers
so I hope they will find something to their liking
