Otos

[samthefishman]

I am thinking about buting 2 otos, they look cool, and good cleaners.
For the time being i will have to put them in my bristlenose breeding tank.

Will they eat the eggs? and do they get along?

I think otos are vegetarians, but I could be mistaken, so don't quote me on that.

However, if you've got room, I'd suggest getting more than two otos. It may sounds hypocritical since I myself only have two, but they like to be in larger shoals (I've only got two because the tank they're in can't support any more). If you can get as many as five it would be great, but 3 or four is alright, as well.

Good luck with your otos! For more information, check out;

thanks for that Info,
Altho my questions still remain.
Would they eat bristlenose eggs? and will they get along with bristlenose? (I AM GETTING 2, because i simply cannot afford them at this time).
