You may havr to keep an.eye on them to make sure they eating
I feed mine once a week and they also eat flakes and pellets.

There will be no more algae once you cant see it
And i dont think 3 will be enough, six sounds more effective.
And i would feed them if they look hungry, or they dont eat the algae

Oto's do best in larger groups. Just offer an alternative food (I use blanched zucchini) once a week. But it in on a clip (I put it in a couple places) right after lights go off. Also since they are little just cut the slices somewhat thin.
