View Full Version : feeding ottos and catfish
how do you guys go about making sure your lil ottos and other bottom dewllers find the pellets? mine used to be able to pouce on anything when i had black gravel, but now with the natural they cant find anything!

In all honesty, I've never worried about it. I'm sure they're getting a good enough share even if you aren't noticing them eating the pellets. Keep in mind otos are very small and can be sustained by very small amounts of naturally occurring algae, and most bottom feeders will find all sorts of food to munch on that the other fish left behind, so I wouldn't worry too much unless you noticed a definite issue with one or more of the fish looking emaciated (sp?).
i have one otto that is so small, he likes to chill on top of my big pleco lol
