Hey all!
I've been looking to introduce some algae eaters into my tank, and have fallen for the zebra oto... as well as a plan to get around 5 red cherry shrimp to live in the moss wall and pick out the debris that it picks up (filter outlet pretty much sweeps right along it)..
I have an 8g tank with 4 guppies currently, fluval U1 filter, has been set up since January with the gupps tails growing almost every day and getting brighter all the time...
aqadvisor says I'd just about be ok for stock and filtration capacity so I'd just like some comments on Oto and specifically zebra Oto care.
I've not kept any Otos before, but have read a lot about them as I originally wanted to get a pair or regular otos. As I understand it their a fragile species at best, with the zebra breed being on the even more fragile end of this breed...
So yea I'm open to advice and suggestions on keeping these gorgeous fish before I jump in and order some online...
