overfeeding ottos ?

[kenneth_kpe]

well i have a couple of ottos in my tank and im just wondering if it is actually possible to overfeed em ? you know because i always place a cocumber in the tank

Oto's are built to eat extremely large amounts of food, so you should be ok. Rely on tank algae alone and they're bound to starve to death!

My otos stop eating when they get full, then they chow down the next day It's always good to have a varied diet for them, mine sometimes try to eat shrimp pellets

what are the other things that i can feed em ?? im having a hard time feeding them sinking wafers because the other fish get to em first so vegetables are a must

that means a good thing to do is always plae a cocumber in my tank ? btw how to you guys fasten your cocumbers ? my toothpicks are not really working since cocumbers have a tendency to become slush

 

[Dwarfs]

I tie them to a rock with a small piece of thread Call me desperate but hey, it works

ic ic and hey do you know how much to feed cory's ??? im having a hard time feeding em too because me buenos aires tetras tend to steal the food from my cories

 

[Dwarfs]

Try some wardley sinking pellets They sink pretty fast and are too big to be eaten by most tetras

Mine really seem to go for zucchini, and zucchini can be left even for a couple of days without any effect on it's consistancy. I cut it in wedges lengthwise and stick it right in the sand, vetical. There's usually not much to remove after a day and night.
