Recommended Oto food?

[sam180]

I will be adding 4 or 5 otocinclus to my 75g tank soon and was curious what is the best food for them, once they have cleared all the diatom algae from my tank. I already feed my loaches cucumber and zucchini squash every few days, would that suffice?

Yes! Plus they will eat the biofilm in your tank.

They'll also ravage on algae tabs.

Good to know. Thanks!

Mine have never touched any veggies or prepared foods.

My otos really like green beans. Buy a bag of frozen green beans and make sure you get the french cut ones. I put them directly into the tank after thawing for a few minutes - no need to blanch them.
