Picked up 3 small Oto's last night to help combat some brown algae in a newly cycled tank.* Thought I'd share a pic (see if you can find all 3 Oto's in the picture.)* They dont have any names, partly because I cant tell them apart.

Immediately after dropping them in, they went to work and havent stopped.* These guys dont seem to care if the lights are on or off.* They also dont seem to be scared of their neighbors and I've seen them swim from the glass on one side to the other, right past the guppies and tetra.

I also dropped in a couple algae wafers (which I later learned was uneccessary), but they havent touched them.* The guppies and platy's found them though, and I have to say that they have been a lot more "regular" since, if you know what I mean.* (Gonna have to vac the gravel 2-3 times this week instead of once if thise keeps up!* :P )

Yep, I found all three and they are darling. I love the little guy resting on the submarine.

They are such darlings and yes they work right along when the food supply is there.

I do know what you mean about the "wafer" regularity. Be thankful, fish do get constipated and it is a very miserable tank when you have them that way.

Happy New Year

Congratulations! I found all 3, and they are so cute!! I got 2 otos on Christmas eve and 1 died the next day. Went to Petsmart last night for a replacement but they were already closed...Going again today, and hopefully will get a friend or 2 for my lone oto...I really like them. The one I have isn't afraid either! My cherry barbs are way more shy than he is!
thanks for th pic!

They're so cute!! Carol--the one you missed was probably the one on the way right of the tank, sitting on a plant about halfway up and partially hidden by the leaves.

The one on the submarine reminds me of my Mist, only a bit bigger.
