new otos!

After a long haul, my new 10 gallon is cycled, planted and now has some occupants, 4 otos who are getting fat on all the algae in my tank! Surprise, surprise, one of the LFS actually had some good stock!

sticking the vegetable matter under driftwood... why didn't I think of that?! duh!

lol Sharon, I played around with lots of ideas until that one occurred to me

I use wire, stick it through the zucchini and put fishing weights on both ends so it sinks. I also have tied a meter of fishing wire to one end so (theoretically) I don't have to put my hands in the tank to remove it.... not that it ever works out that way.
