Grats on the successful breeding of Otos, your probably making quite a few people jealous. But on the other hand reading through your tank description, I think you have too much light, you'd probably have better succes with 1 65watt bulb, especially if your going with DIY CO2, which should help with your algae problem.

Oh I don't have an algae problem. The algae's just growing slightly on the back wall. I need the higher light to get to my crypts.

I also have 3 Otos and I think one is loaded with eggs. If it is a male, then he is really, really fat. But since the other 2 are fairly skinny I think that the one is about to lay eggs. Any update on the water parameters? My pH is 6.8 and GH is about 50 ppm and KH 100 ppm. I also have swords and anubias. Did you notice any spawing behavior or where they lay their eggs per chance?

That is awesome! I know people who have tried and tried to breed their otos and can't. Increadible that when you leave them be, they just get to it lol!
