| Oto fry! I came home today from a college presentation and I found two oto fry stuck to the glass!!! I also discovered three more on various plants and the castle. They're about 3mm long and look like cories but with a longer slimmer body. I can't take picture cuz they are waaay too tiny. And I think the danios just ate the original two.  But hopefully some will survive! I don't want to take them out and I can't now anyway...anybody bred them before? I'm so excited!!!

I doubt they will survive the danios.
Mine was all about eating or ripping apart my swordtail fry.

| If you think Oto adults are sensitive, fry are even more so. If there are other fish in this tank then no I doubt the fry will make it. Moving them may kill them, but if you do move them make sure to fill the small grow out tank with nothing but water from the original tank. |

Don't know anything about them, but good luck. I've heard they are pretty hard to breed.

| Thanks.  And yeah, my fish must love their new home cuz they are spawning everywhere!
This morning I still found two; one out in the open and one inside the castle.
After band this morning, I can't find any...  I don't have any other tanks set up atm cuz I tore them all down...but I can always put them in that cory bowl...?
Eh, I can't find any right now anyway...stupid danios! They're the only ones that would eat them...right?

| The Danios are the likely suspects. |

| I see one right now! What should I do? Should I take him out or leave him in there? I'm leaving the lights off in the tank until I get a response so the danios don't see him...

| Eh, nevermind. He's gone again. I think I'll just leave whoever is in there alone, and if they survive, then yay! And if they don't, then whatev.

| Can you put some plants or moss in there for him? Or even some pvc, anything really, that way he will have someplace to hide.
