Ottos

[catfishblues]

I have algae and it's driving me crazy! i made the mistake of buying a cae and lost some fish to it. i have diatoms and some kind of stringy green algae and want to get a shoal of ottos. i have heard that they will latch on to slow moving fish. has anyone experienced this or successfully kept them with gouramis?

I have "Seen" them kept with Gourami's but not kept them myself. so cant really advise. Although i have been told they had no problems.

Like i said though i have never experienced it. But only seen it a couple of times with other people's tank's

I think the best thing to do is to wait for an expert on here CAE can be a nightmare mind lol

I've never had any problems with otto's... buy a shoal of at least six though as they are a shoaling fish.
