I bought some otos about a week ago, i have been feeding them algea pellets mostly, i gave them some boiled cucumber today, and they loved it. My questions are:
1)will the cucumber or any other food throw off my params, or my my water cloudy?
2)How long until i should remove the uneaten cucmber?
3)what other food do they like besides algea and cucumbers?(i know the like zuccini too)
I have never had fish with sucker mouths before, so i don't know much about them. I have only had a pleco, which always ate off the top of the water and whatever the other fish ate. I know fish need a variety of food, thats why i feed all my fish flake/ veggies, and bloodworms and sometimes mosquito larvea. I guess i should have resarched them more before i got them. I had never seen them for sale around here, I saw two of them left so i snatched them. I have done my research about how they are very sensitive to changes in ph and such(before i got them). And how you are supposed to acclimate them longer than other fish. I also heard that they eat driftwood, so I put a few decorative peices in there. They seem to be doing very well, the poop alot, so that is a good sign. I really like these guys, if anybodt could answer my questions, and if you have any pointers, i could use those too TIA
