Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

i supplement mine with algae wafers. if you do fresh food ive read to parboil or steam it slightly to soften it first and remove it after 24 hours. you need a plant anchor to weigh it down.
enjoy them. i love mine

lol, i'm glad they've been eating! generally the biggest problem with otos is that they don't eat from the time they're caught until the time they get into your tank if the LFS doesn't make absolutely sure that they're fed. them eating is a good sign
