Algae seems to be under control now...but?

Hi there, I just got 3 ottos for my tank to help with the algae I had....Before I had 4 green nerites but it was too much for them to clean up. Since Monday they have reduced the algae in the tank by about 50% or so. I also starting using Flourish on Monday. Will my ottos run out of food or will the tank keep producing enough for them to live off of? Pics coming....

do you think they will run out of algae?

the rule of thumb for otos is 5 gallons of tank per oto is enough to sustain them, i believe.

oh well if thats true then they should be fine, This is a 30 gallon...well wish me luck! LOL

To be on the safe side feed them algae wafers every once in a while, just in case there isnt enough algae for them to eat.

And vegies! Most otos love vegies.
