Aquarium Advice Addict
I bought two Ottos last weekend and they are eating through the algae in my tank very rapidly. I am worried now because they have about one day of algae left in the tank until it is all gone. I thought I had a lot of algae to begin with, but I guess not. The fish store owner advised they would eat a thin potato slice if I dropped one into the water. I was told the potato was actually very healthy for the Ottos and that they would suck on the potato all the time. I put a thin slice in, and the Ottos could not care less about it. The Ottos just keep going around the outside of the glass, looking for algae scraps there. Will they eventually find the potato slice, or am I wasting my time? If I try algae wafers, should I be worried about them breaking down and clouding the water?
