When they were in the smaller tank (18gal Eclipse 1 system), they would go crazy when I'd walk up to the tank and I could almost literally hear them screaming "Godzilla! Godzilla!!!" in the cheesy B-movie Japanese accent as they darted around the tank. Now that they're in the 45gal, they're much more laid-back, which is cool too. I still think that two of them (which two is still a mystery) bred, but I had a major bacterial bloom and algae attack and I think the eggs may have died. I took them out when I cleaned the tank and put them into their own bowl (with original water from the tank) and put it under a CFL lamp, so we'll see what happens. Anywho, I want more fishes in the 45gal. I've reached my quota for female bettas (yes, nine is apparently enough) and want to branch out a little. I'm thinking of putting a few black mollies (about five or six?) in there. I was also considering maybe adding some more otos. Do ya'll think three is enough or should I add a few more? Thanks! ]]> BottomFeeder Discussion bassbonediva http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/bottomfeeder-discussion/59434-three-otos-enough.html http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/bottomfeeder-discussion/59381-lonely-cory.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:18:19 GMT I woke up this morning to find one of my julii/tri cories dead.

I think he was killed by the betta as there was a large discoloration behind the gill cover. The other julii/tri seems to be free of marks, but it is just swimming around in the middle of the tank. The panda and the skunk are behaving normally, but I am wondering if maybe the julii/tri could be lonely ? ]]> BottomFeeder Discussion AndiH http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/bottomfeeder-discussion/59381-lonely-cory.html http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/bottomfeeder-discussion/59325-i-think-my-oto-cats-bred.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:17:46 GMT Okay, so I think my oto cats bred.

I saw two of them flitting about the tank together and acting all courting-like, then today when I went to feed everybody (they're in a 45gal bowfront with nine female bettas...I have 3 oto cats of unknown sex and age) I noticed a cluster of what looked like eggs and some clearish jelly-like stuff attached to one of my plastic plants. I know my female bettas didn't breed 'cuz only one of them is in season right now and she came into season *after* I took the male I temporarily had in there out. So, could my oto cats have bred? If so...WHAT DO I DO?!?! LOL!

I knew they did better in groups, but he has livened up so much just since he has a buddy now. They swim up and down the tank walls together and are always pretty close to one another. I got a Julii Cory... So my main question is, if I get a tank with more bottom space and want to expand my Cory crew could I get one of each variety? (spotted, albino, green emerald, etc?) And would they breed with one another? ]]> BottomFeeder Discussion hippiefish22 http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/bottomfeeder-discussion/59294-cories.html
