Just be aware, they like to be in groups.

They eat algae much better than your CAE too. Oto's are da bomb.

Yeah this little guy seems to be having a ball in the tank lol China (my CAE) would rather eat the algae off the rocks or big rock in my tank and likes to sleep in the little tiny house that's laying sidways in there, it's so cute cuz it's just the right size for him.
