new ottos just added to 135 gallon tank

[kickeralpine]

well just added 5 ottos to my tank there a really cool little fish all over the glass got them from my local fish store. and when i seen them there they where what you guys on here said to look for fat and full of life there tanks are pretty dirty there so i knew they where eating good. never had them before so this is a first for me i have brown aleg in my tank so they got lots to eat for now. and ideas on what else to feed them would be great.

Algae wafers are always a good choice. The sink. To make sure the Otos get them, feed right before lights out so the other fish don't see them.

Algae wafers and a variety of veggies as a supplement is good. My otos will hang out on a piece of zuc for quite a while.

I have yet to find anything my ottos like to eat, Im getting concerned.

I've heard they won't touch algae wafers.

I dropped a veggie wafer in last night at lights out, and this morning it was gone, so hopefully they got some chow.

I find that mine like lettuce and spinach. I blanch it and clip it in the tank. It needs to sit there for a day or two before they will touch it. I just leave it there until it is gone.

Zucchini is a great hit with mine. I chop it up in discs and freeze it...then just thaw a piece when I need it. I think freezing and thawing makes it a bit softer than it would be otherwise and the otos love it.

mine liked cucumbers when I had some.

I'll try lettuce since that's readily available, and I'll have the Mrs. pick up some zucchini this week too. Thanks for the suggestions
