I moved my otos to my fry tank yesterday so they could feast on the algae in that tank. It is the only tank I can successfully grow algae in LOL. This morning as I was feeding my platy and guppy babies I noticed a clutch of eggs in their tank on the base of the heater. The only other tank inhabitants besides the fry are my two otos and a colombian rams horn snail. I have read that the ram horn needs a mate to reproduce. So, they gotta be oto eggs right?? Anyone else have success raising oto fry? If they do hatch what should I feed them? Should I take the parents out? Will they be okay with the other fry in the tank?
Am I a new oto mommy??

You won't need to feed them anything. They'll feed on the microalgae on the glass. They don't eat brine. You can put a small piece of cucumber or zuchinni in there for them.
Soak a raw potato in a cup of tank water for about a week - the dump the cup into the tank
(I think - do some research to be certain of the exact process.)
Crush a lettuce leaf and put it in a jar with water and sit in in the window. In a day or two you'll have infusoria.
