ive ot 3 in mine,but im gonna have to supplement soonI wouldn't put any otos in a 10g. But if you must, then 3.
ohhh yeah,one wall of my tank was almost completely covered,and the rest were fairly green/brown,and theyve almost finished cleaning.Running out of algae?

A lot of people view Otos as utilitarian and just there to clean up, but I love the little guys. they are really fun to watch. They play with each other and even work as a team to clean up little sections.
Just because of my personal taste, I'd always choose having a bunch of little fish over one larger one. Plecos have a huge bio-load, and I'd rather add a few more Otos and some Amano shrimp in their place.
they didnt eat the algae wafer i put in,so tonight im gonna blanch some cucumberOkay, but if they don't eat the supplements (some don't), be prepared to grow algae for them.
Not pregnant or bloat I don't think...just a fat little fish, lol.Wow! Haha tbh I'm not sure how to disguise between bloated and pregnant ottos! But my ottos ain't as fat as that! Hahaha nice work if it is pregnant "
"Btw does any of Ur Ottos go pale when in darkness? One of mine does! Freaked me out but found that it's normal after research! Haha
I believe they like to be in a group of 3 or more,they definitely interact with each other a lot. I've heard 30 gallons as the recommended minimum and they thrive in heavily planted and established tanks.can you keep otto's on their own and how big do they get? whats the smallest sized tank that would be appropriate for them or does it depend on the amount of live plants, etc, in the tank?
I wouldn't give up yet, mine took a few tries to realize it was food, especially the zucchini. And they also don't always park themselves on top of the wafer, they kind of hang out around it catching the debris that falls off.they didnt eat the algae wafer i put in,so tonight im gonna blanch some cucumber

Never seen that, hard to find the little buggers in the dark though.
