Ladies and gents, I present you the ... upside down picture. Plus the usual oto-on-a-leaf picture thrown in for good measure.

Lol, like the upside down pic armadillo! Great shot.

I need to get some pictures of my female, she is so freaking fat I am surprised, they have bred before (saw the eggs) but nothing showed up.

Here's some shots of my otos schooling with my dwarf loaches. It's really cool to watch.

I like this one because it just shows, once again, the otos' dedication to cucumber, LOL.

Here's a couple more. I love how the molly could not resist the cucumber either.

Thanks, 0morrokh! I wouldn't advise you to get dwarf loaches, though. To be honest, I find mine really quite aggressive to the other fish and to myself. I am way happier with the kuhli loaches. But it's cool to watch them school with the otos, I have to say.

Thanks, Kate. As you miss them so, why don't you get some more?

Since I have no fish in the cycled 29g tank, Im going to keep it cycled, but use it only in emergency. Im hoping that two of my Discus will pair off as they have been hanging around with each other quite a bit. If they do, I will move them there. I wouldnt want any other fish with them if they do end up spawning. Id love to have some Discus babies.
My 55g that is housing the Discus, the temperature is up to high, I believe to be able to add otos with them. And the Angel fish are so mean, if i added any there, I believe they would attack them. So alas... the reason for no more otos.

Oh, shame. But do you think the otos would disturb the breeding pair?

Great news on the pairing up. That would be so awesome! Baby discuses are among the cutest fry ever.
