otos
jmiller asked about otocinclus. in my experience, they are rather delicate
and are all wild caught, since captive breeding is not easy. i would say try
getting a larger group next time, they might take a while to adjust, they also
like being in a group. also, try to look for bigger and healthier looking
ones, they all seem to be starved when they arrive in petshops. i have heard
of someone breeding them in a tank that was sunlit and full of green algae.
they are great algae eaters for cleaning leaves taht may be too weak to
support a bigger fish. however, they will not eat the dreaded black brush or
hair algae.
