Hey guys,
I have 6 otto cats that I am willing to give away for free as long as someone has room for them. They are all in great health and about 1" in length. They have been a hardy bunch and have adapted easily to both of my tanks.
I am in Southern California. Santa Clarita area to be exact.

I'm in Monrovia, less than an hour away if there's not much traffic (ha). I'd need to wait 'til after the Thanksgiving holiday, as I'm cycling several tanks to shuffle fish around and I can't do 'fish in' cycles if I'm not home to do water changes. If that's a huge problem, I could put them in my established 40 gallon, but my pleco would compete for the food there in the long run. PM me with more details.
All my tanks are pretty heavily planted - I haven't researched otto's super closely other than knowing they 'roam in packs' and are good cleaners. Any plants I'd need to move out to keep the ottos from eating them? Off the top of my head, I've got Anacharis, Watersprite, Amazon Sword, Javaweed, Java moss, Aponengoten, Nalas, Banana plant, Hornwort, duckweed... (they can eat all the duckweed they want, it'll find a way to make more)

If the other two deals fall through I got a 180 gallon planted tank they can go in.
