[cgthebeast]

Otos are not picky they eat algae and mine even eat algae wafers that i feed my cat!

Yes, yes they are, there WILD caught. They get there main nutrition source from biofilm found on plants an such

Can you get a pic of it? It dosen't sound like an oto. How big is it? Does it have a black strie down its side? That may have been a studio question haha

 

[aquariumlover10]

I was talking about my up side down cat. My otos are about an inch long i got them because i had an algae problem my tank was cleaned with in a week.

OH, my bad haha.yeah the sure way to tell is to count how many whisker sets it has, if it has 3 it's an African

 

[aquariumlover10]

Na mine has 4-6

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Otos are ok in a 10 gallon, just because its a 10 gallon doesn't mean it doesn't have algae

Lol 3 sets= 6 whiskers= trouble haha no worries though

Just because its a 10 gallon dosen't mean it has enough bio film to support it it's whole life haha. I know it has alage, all mature tanks do but it having a substantial algae source to keep it well fed the rest if its life, I doubt it .

So does my African, only time will tell. It's around 5 in now and it's just now living up to the name

Two can do it, of corse they would like more partners with them, but with plenty if decor and if OP adds live plants, should be enough

I still wouldn't risk it. And lots of plants, like co2 dosing and can only see half the tank high planted.

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Well, I guess different people have different opinions, but I have to say at a certain extent and with a pic of a tank and future decor and planta

Can u post a pic of your cafish?

 

[aquariumlover10]

I cant figer out how but i put one in my album.

 

[cgthebeast]

It's not an African, but it dosen't look like an upside down either. It's in the same family though

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Almost looks like a synodontis nigrita, or lace synodontis to me

 

[Wiggles24]

It's definitely not a lace, which is good cuz they get huge!
