I got 3 otos for my 55 gallon tank. I also recently added one cory. I'm a bit concerned they're not going to have enough food. The tank is spotless. No algae anywhere. Not like that's a bad thing, but I'm a bit worried that they're going to run out. I've added algae wafers, and they're always torn apart the next morning, but I don't know who's eating them - the otos, the cory, or the guppies (who eat just about anything that touches the water).

I've read about cucumber and such. Do you think this would be a good idea to add to make sure they're getting enough food. I have had the otos for weeks, and while they're still alive and swimming, they're not exactly fat...

Ideas?

Well as long as there alive they must be eating. I HAD about 5 hermint crabs, but I think they didn't get enough food because theres only about two left so I'm starting to overfeed a bit. Just enough for some of the food to reach the bottom.

i sorry but i dint no how to spell it but zucini is the best way to go alng with algea wafers.

heat up the water to boiling temp in microwave. take out and put zucini in boiling water till it becomes flimsy.put in tank... may need a weight... only if not in water long anough.

you can freeze the zucini so get a big zucini and put in freezer bag when done. then simply heat back up when ready.

nutrisional and everybody has a chance to get some because it so big.

it is my bottom feeders and mollies favorites.
