Would Oto's Be Suitable?

[Harlequins]

I have just decided that i'd like a few otos in the 55 gal,mainly has the back of the tank has a fair bit of algae growing up the back,which i find hard to get too to clean it off...

Would this be a good idea? i've been reading up and am aware they also need a good diet as well has algae.

All my fish appear peaceful to each other and this tank as been running since last July.


Thanks

hi, otto's would be fine in the tank. i'm not sure if they would clean all of the algae off your glass, but they do a great job of keeping plants leaves clean. i would recommend getting a large group of them, maybe about 10, as they are a shoaling fish, and feel much more secure in a group. you can feed them algae wafers and blanched veggies.

cheers
