ottos

I know otto's enjoy a night out on the town with some green hair algae and diatom aglae, but what else can "I" feed them, 'specially when they've cleared out a 3 gallon planted tank?

Try cucumber and courgette!
Works well for me!!

Same as most other plecos, fresh veg like sarah says, and you could try brussels sprouts too (part boiled to make them sink)
Also of course algae wafers and occasional bloodworm.

I have to ottos...one in a 2 gallon betta tank, and one in an 8 gallon newt/danio tank. When they don't have any algae in there, I give them boiled spinach, lettuce, and fresh zucchini! They seem to really like it!

cool, thanks guys/girls.
I have 15 otto's spread throughout 4 of my tanks, they do a great job cleaning up, so much that I'm afraid they'll starve if I dont start giving them a supplememt of something.
It's funny, I have tried giving them algae wafers/pellots, but they let it sit there for a day until they eat it.
Does anyone else have this happen?

 

[Betta*b*Happy!]

I do,

My otto's don't seem to like them much but my cory's on the other hand wolf them down!

My ottos like cucumber best.

I tried cucumber before as well, the oto's and the cory's both didnt touch it, I actually forgot a small peice in the tank overnight, not even the plecs touched it.
