Aquarium Advice FINatic
The otos are cute and tiny! These are supposed to grow to 2" max. I can't get over how funky they look.
The guy at the LFS (Sati, it's Blue Sierra, if you read this) recommended the regular otos over the zebra ones for my tank because the zebras hide a lot and are nocturnal. He said he's never known otos to eat brown algae, but I told him everyone at AA.com said they do (so I'm supposed to call him and let him know if they do eat my brown algae). Can you believe he's never heard of this forum?!
He also recommended not giving them any algae wafers for a few days, to see if this will get them to go for the brown algae first.
Any thoughts on this, anybody?
