I picked up 15 otos and one albino chocolate H. plecostomus.

Sometimes I wonder about people. One of the otos was hooked on the net and the guy tried to get him loose with his hand. Needless to say, I didn't buy that one.

Whew, 15 chain-store quality otos? I forsee losses. Good deal though, I hope they do better than those poor cories :)

You should have bough that oto, Nolapete.

Gonna go out on a limb but for a dollar more, I'd not hesitate to take my chance w/ the oto rather than giving it nil of a chance at the store.

Nope, one oto dies they all commit suicide. I'm not having mass suicide again. That's what happened with my otos when I had my planted tank. They were all doing fine then one day I see one dead. Yes, I checked all the water parameters and all the other fish were doing fine. No signs of disease at all. About a week later they all started dying. No other fish died and there was no aggression.

They are gentle and soft stuff. Temperance is rarely a problem, if at all. All they do is eat, all day everyday.

They look nice too, those big eyes.

Ahura, would they be ok with snails? I've got 40 mystery/apple snails growing out in a 55 g tank with a few Pearl Gouramis. I'd love to get some Otos if they'd leave the snails alone. The smallest ones are pea sized.

Snails should have no problem with Otos.
