I didn't realize that about the brown stuff. I did buy 3 otocinclus, and I really like the little guys so I was thinking of adding more, since I read that in the wild they live in big schools. I don't have anyone big enough to eat them, fortunately. I'm not sure if I'm feeding them correctly but they seem to have been thriving, except, randomly, one day after being in the tank for a couple months, one of them died.
I feel like the fish were stressed simply because of the illnesses that were going around, and it seems like all the water changes must be scary for them, but maybe they don't care.
