|  I just picked up a pair of Ottos. I didn't expect both to survive given they're suposed to be frail fish but they seem to be doing well but mine aren't intrested in my algae! *cries* Ah well back to scrubbing I go.

| Hey, got a little problem/idea. Would it be possible to have one oto in the puffer tank and one oto in the fry tank? Or would they get lonely? I don't want to move both out of the puffer tank cuz then it would get algaey. And I need something to keep the fry tank clean cuz I'm scrubbing every week. Ideas/suggestions?

| I keep algae in my guppy fry tank, they love to nibble on it, I would keep the otos with the puffer. I know even better, get more otos

| They are beautiful!!! I have 3 and 2 sort of look like your fat one the other one is thinner........I really love them and your pictures are great I can't get them to stay still long enough to get one  I am feeding mine the Hikari wafers as they totally cleaned all the algae within a couple of days......you could eat off of my plants lol.....Do you supliment too or are they just getting algae so far?

| Hehe, here's some pics. They're not so great, but that greenish spot is all made of eggs.

| Well, she's still got the eggs. I'm fairly certain they are male and female, one is bigger than the other. I might change the names to Sonja and Otto (happens to be a famous German comedian and Sonja is one of the characters in one of his movies.)

| Otto died suddenly a couple days ago...  So I put Sonja in with Weebo. After cleaning today I walked in and she's on the other side of the divider!?!? There's is no way she can fit through the holes in the plexiglass...so she must have jumped...? Do otos jump? It doesn't seem like she would do that.
