Algae wafers, cucumber slices, and a healthy dose of algae.
I tried feeding them guppies, but they weren't having any of that... :screwy:

Definately Zucchini. Kens fish has an Invert food that they appear to like as well.

I don't feed my otos anything... they just eat whatever is on my plants I suppose. They're pretty fat as it is so I don't give them anything exclusively. I've seen them munch on some flakes that other fish missed though.
